Returner Room Selection

The online room selection process allows current residents to indicate their preferences for where and with whom they’d like to live in the coming academic year.

Selecting Space and Roommate Preferences

  1. Complete your Contract in MyUWF beginning February 3, 2026. Submit your contract and the $25 processing fee before the contract closes at 5 p.m. on March 20*. List your matching preferences on your contract, and you’ll be able to pull in your preferred roommate(s) during room selection. 
    *Submit your contract early to secure your spot: If on-campus housing reaches capacity prior to March 20, contracts will close at that time, and the standby list will begin. 
  2. Participate in room selection once it opens. 
    • Select your building/space
    • Select a roommate
