New Student Contract

We have partnered with MyCollegeRoomie (MCR) to offer our students an opportunity to connect with each other and search for roommates. Students will receive a welcome email from MCR approximately 24 hours after the contract has been submitted. Students will make roommate matches directly in the software and they will be sent to our housing staff.

New Students will have access to MCR starting February 15th, 2023. Students will need to look out in their UAH student email for the welcome email.

Download MyCollegeRoomie from your mobile device's app store to easily use the platform. You will then be able to set up a profile, answer the questionnaire, and begin connecting with other resident students!

Already have a desired roommate in mind? No problem! You can search for that person in MyCollegeRoomie and match with them there. If your chosen roommate is not appearing in the search results, likely, they have not completed the housing contract yet or they have never logged into MyCollegeRoomie to complete a profile. Check with them to make sure it is complete before contacting our office.

We encourage you to take the roommate matching search into your own hands! If you do not participate in the MyCollegeRoomie matching process, you will be assigned random roommates.

The UAH Housing office will alert all first year students of their housing assignments in mid-June. We will communicate this information to the student’s UAH email address. We recommend checking that email regularly as it is the main form of communication used by the University. First Year students are auto assigned by a staff member in our office according to living preferences provided in their housing contract.

For any student on the waiting list, you will be provided a housing assignment as space becomes available. Students will be alerted of the housing assignment via UAH student email address with an assignment letter. This process traditionally starts in late-May and continues throughout the summer as space is available.

For any new student who is not required to live on campus and submits a housing contract, their name will be automatically placed on a waiting list for on campus housing. This is because we are unable to guarantee a housing assignment for all upper-class students who apply for housing. By submitting the contract, the student has committed to the University even though their name is on a waiting list. We tend to start working through the list late May/early June and continue assigning as space becomes available. If an assignment has not been provided by June 30, 2023, students on the waiting list will be provided the chance to cancel their contract so they can pursue alternative options.
