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.


  1. Complete your 2025-26 Contract in MyUWF beginning on February 3, 2025. Submit your contract and the $25 processing fee to participate in online room selection before the contract closes.* List your matching preferences on your contract, and you’ll be able to choose a roommate during room selection.
    • *Submit your contract early: The 25/26 Housing Contract will close no later than March 21, 2025. If on-campus housing reaches capacity prior to March 21, contracts will close, and you will be added to the standby list instead of being able to reserve your spot.
  2. Participate in room selection once it opens
    • Select your building/space
    • Select a roommate
