Returner 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 returner contract has been submitted. Students will make roommate matches directly in the software and they will be sent to our housing staff.

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.

Please note, the max size a roommate group can be is 4 students (Charger Village Addition & Charger Village Original) and 3 students (Southeast Campus). When you enter room selection, we cannot guarantee that there will be enough space available to accommodate the entire roommate group. There is a possibility that the roommate group will need to be split up into different suites. We recommend having that conversation with your group prior to the start of room selection.

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.

Students who completed the housing contract in Step 1 will be provided a room selection time based off of when they submitted the contract. Selection times will be generated prior to room selection. Students will log into their Residential Self-Service when their selection time and date have arrived to select a room for the 2024-2025 academic year. Students will receive an official assignment letter to their UAH email address once their room selection has been submitted.

Room selection will take place from TBD for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Any students whose parental verification is not complete will not be eligible to participate in room selection. Students will receive a notification via email if this part is not complete prior to room selection starting.

Watch this video about how to select a room for the next academic year.

Any student who does not receive a housing assignment during the room selection of the Returning Student Housing Process (RSHP) is automatically placed on a waiting list for 2024-2025 housing. After housing staff has assessed any remaining space available, they will start assigning students from the RSHP waitlist first to those spaces. This process will continue as space becomes available until all students on the list have been provided a housing assignment.
