Troubleshoot Selection Issues
Room selections are final unless your institution allows re-selection. If you need to change your room after selecting, you may have need to reach out to your housing department.
Rooms are first-come, first-served. If another student selects the room before you confirm, you’ll receive a notification that it is no longer available.
Eligibility rules may apply. Some rooms may be restricted based on specific requirements, such as class standing, program participation, or other housing policies set by your institution.
