Room Selection gives you the opportunity to pick your living space for the upcoming semester! In order to select your space, you must complete the Housing Application.
Room Selection
To see how the room selection process works, check out our video:
Follow the steps below to select a room:
Once it’s your time to select a space you can go ahead and continue to the room selection page.
Select the building and room you wish to select.
Once the room is in your cart, you have 10 minutes to confirm the selection. We encourage you to look at the floor plans linked at the top of the roommate selection page.
Assign each student to a bed.
Confirm the assignments.
AND DONE! You should now see the listed room with those assigned at the bottom of the page.
Important Notes About Room Selection.
Check your EKU email for upcoming dates.
Completing your Housing Application early does not guarantee an early selection time. Selection dates and times are randomly generated.
If you are accepted into a Living Learning Community, you will be placed in a room that is part of the LLC. You can only match with roommates who are also in the LLC.
The individual that has the earliest Room Selection can select a room for both students, but both students must verify in the housing system that you wish to live with one another.
Choosing a Roommate
Already have someone you’d like to room with?
If you have someone you would like to live with, you can add a roommate to your group during Room Selection. Talk to your friend and develop a plan prior to Selection time. Remind them to complete their Housing Application. Both students must be willing to live with one another. The student with the earliest room selection date and time can select a room for both students, but both individuals must agree to live together, in the Residence Hall that was selected.
If you do not have a roommate, you can use the roommate match capability in the system. This gives you an opportunity to see how similar other students are to you, based on the Roommate Questionnaire you completed with your application. Only students in need of a roommate will be searchable during the process.
Note: With the exception of Grand Campus, roommate groups have a maximum size of two (you and one roommate).
Watch this video or follow the steps below to create and add someone to your roommate group.
Log into the Housing Portal and select Housing App & Room Info.
Select the term that matches the term you are applying for. Ex. AY 2024-2025 term is for fall 2024 and spring 2025.
Check your Roommate Profile to ensure your Web Screen Name is your EKU email address and that you have the box selected if you want others to be able to search for you.
If you are the group leader, you can create a group and name the group.
You can search for other students using two methods: If you know the student’s Web Screen Name, you can search by name. If you are unsure of who you wish to live with, you can use suggested roommates and the system will show other students whom you are highly matched with.
Invite the students who you want to live with. Can’t find someone? Have the other student log into their housing portal and ensure you have the correct Web Screen Name.
Each student you add needs to log into their housing portal and confirm that they wish to be in the group.
Once the group is verified (the system will show Verified with a green box), you are ready to select a room during your assigned lottery time.
DOUBLE CHECK that the roommate you want to pick a space with is in your group and you have no pending requests!
NOTE: You can only be in one group at a time, and can only have one group leader.
