Current Residents

Continuing students are allowed to live in any of the apartment style halls as well as Pinon, Tolman and Rait. Continuing students under the legal drinking age may also live in Grand Mesa, Garfield, and Monument.

In an effort to create an equitable room selection process, selection times will be randomized in segments. Students who apply within the first hour of the application opening (9-10am) will be given the highest priority selection times, at random. Students who apply within the second hour of the application opening (10-11am) will be assigned the following selection times, and so on. (i.e. the student who submits an application at 9:00:00am has the same shot at the first selection time as a student who submits an application at 9:59:59am).

If you selected the wrong room, we can change that for you. Stop by our office or give us a call at (970)248-1536 and we can switch you to a different open room.

The Room Selection application will close on March 1st at 4pm. Students who did not submit an application will need to submit a Continuing Student Housing Application instead. The Continuing Student Housing Application opens Monday, March 4th at 9am. Students who miss Room Selection and complete a continuing student housing application will not be assigned a room selection time to select their exact room. Students who submit a Continuing Student Housing Application will be assigned a room based on application date, living requests, and space available. 

If you missed your time, no worries! You have from your selection time until March 15th at 4pm to select a room. If you do not select a room by that time, we will place you in a hall based on your living requests and what is available.

Students who mutually request each other in My College Roomie will be placed in a roommate group, and will be assigned the same Room Selection time. Any student in the roommate group will be able to select room assignments for everyone in the group when the group's selection time begins. Only one student needs to select room assignments for all students in the group, and must place all roommates in the group into a room. 

Only suites and apartments that will hold the entire roommate group will display in the room selection process. Spaces with less beds than students in your group will not show as available. 

There are eligibility requirements for some halls.

1. Orchard Apartments has a GPA requirement of 2.5 or higher
2. Only second year and up students are eligible to live in the apartment-style halls
3. Only first year students are eligible to live in Bunting Hall, Lucero Suites, and Wingate Hall
4. Students over the legal drinking age are eligible to live in any of the apartment-style halls, Pinon, Tolman, Rait, and Albers Hall

There are multiple reasons why you may not see one of your top three living requests on the lists of rooms to select when your timeslot opens:

- Your roommate group is larger than any available spaces left in the room selection process. For example, if you are in a roommate group of 4 people, but there are no longer suites or apartments available with 4 or more beds, it will appear that there are no rooms available. Students will only be able to see spaces that fit their entire roommate group. (Roommate groups can be split up to fill smaller spaces by contacting Residence life)

- The halls you requested are full. If the buildings you requested are not showing up as options when you go to select a room, there may not be any open beds left in those buildings. 

- You are not eligible to select a bed in the building you are requesting, or a person in your roommate group is not eligible. If one person in your roommate group is not eligible for a hall, that hall will not show up on the list for anyone in the group to select.

Roommate matching is limited to groups of six. Most suites and apartments will not fit groups larger than six, with the exception of Grand Mesa Hall. Students wanting to form roommate groups larger than six (to fill an entire Grand Mesa Suite) must contact residence life to add roommates number 7, 8, and 9* to the group. This request must be made before March 8^th at 11:59pm to be considered.

*Students are not required to create a roommate group that fills all beds in a suite or apartment.

Students who know who they want to live with for the 2024-2025 academic year can form roommate groups in My College Roomie. All students will receive an email invitation to My College Roomie within 24 hours of submitting a Room Selection Application.

1. Complete a My College Roomie profile
2. Search for your friends’ names
3. Mutually request each other as roommates. Roommate requests must be mutual (both people must create a profile and request each other) to be considered.

All students will have access to My College Roomie and the option to form roommate groups until 11:59pm March 7^th. Roommate requests submitted after March 7^th at 11:59pm will not be granted. Only mutually requested roommates will be assigned the same selection time.

Students are not required to form roommate groups to fill an entire room, suite, or apartment. Students have the option to participate in Room Selection individually.

Students will receive an email invitation to My College Roomie within 24 hours of submitting a Room Selection Application. Create your profile, complete a roommate matching questionnaire, and begin messaging, friend requesting, or requesting other students as roommates.

All students will have access to My College Roomie and the option to form roommate groups until 11:59pm March 9^th.

If you are part of a roommate group and would like to remove yourself from the group, please contact Residence Life at 970-248-1536.

Incoming and transfer students complete a different application process for housing than continuing residents, and often do not meet the eligiblity requirements of the rooms available for continuing residents to select during Room Selection. 

Residence Life will review requests to live with an incoming freshmen or transfer student on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability and eligibility. If you are interested in living with an incoming freshmen or transfer student, contact Residence Life.

Students are asked to select their top three living requests when submitting a Room Selection Application. These living requests do not increase your likeliness of getting a particular room style, or guarantee you a bed in that hall/room style. The purpose of selecting living requests on the Room Selection Application is for Res Life staff members to use when assigning students that did not select a room before the Room Selection process closed. 

Please note: Apartments make up about 60% of the beds available to second year and above residents. Apartments are highly requested for students in the second year (and beyond) on campus. However, not all second year and above residents will be able to select an apartment-style room. Second year and above housing is available in most other residence halls on campus. 

Students that would like to request moving to a different room may add themself to a waitlist beginning March 20th, 2023 at 9am. Waitlist will be available in MyHousing on the Room Selection tab. Two waitlists are available to all students - a single room waitlist and double room waitlist. Students may add themself to one or both waitlists.
