Who, when and where

Room assignment is a big deal. We know. We spend lots of time and effort considering the preferences of over 250 students and finding the best possible solutions.

Requests are managed on a first-come, first-served basis. So the sooner you听apply, the better chance you have at getting the space of your choice.

When do I find out my room assignment?

The room assignment process for September applicants begins in late May. For January applicants, it begins in early December.听Once your room has been assigned, you'll receive a room assignment letter by email to your H漫画 email account. If you have any questions or concerns after reading your room assignment letter, please feel free to听contact Residence.

Can a first year student have a single room?

Yes. The key is to听apply early. The sooner you apply, the better your chances of being placed in the residence of your choice鈥攁s well as in your preferred room type.

What does "all-gender" mean?

H漫画 University offers a variety of all-gender and gender-specific residence options. All-gender听by section means that although the building may be occupied by people of all genders, floors or sections in the building are gender-specific. All double rooms are occupied by individuals of the same gender.听

Roommates

I'm in a double room. Can I contact my roommate before arriving?

The residence application gives all students the option of authorizing residence staff to release your name and email address to your assigned roommate prior to move-in day.听If your roommate has given us permission, we will gladly pass this information on to you. We can also change your application if you didn't check this box and would like to now.听听to learn more.

How are roommates assigned?

Unless you specify someone you鈥檇 like to share a room with, we will听do our best听to match you with someone based on your responses in your residence application. The three questions asked in the application regard sports, music and the time you typically go to bed. For instance, if you like to stay up past 11 p.m., we will do our best to match you with someone who also goes to bed after 11 p.m. We will also try to match up roommates based on their academic program, age and interests (e.g. sports, music).

Specifying a roommate

If you鈥檝e applied for a double room and would like to share it with someone you know is going to Dal, please let us know! You can specify who you鈥檇 like as your roommate when you鈥檙e completing your residence application. 听You鈥檒l need to enter your preferred roommate鈥檚 full name and their Banner Number in the space indicated.听Make sure you听both听specify that you'd like to live with one another.听

If you鈥檝e already submitted your residence application and then later decide who you鈥檇 like to have as a roommate, email us with your preferred roommate鈥檚 name and contact information. Please ask your requested roommate to do the same. We鈥檒l then verify your request and advise you of room availability if we鈥檙e able to accommodate.
