No need to finalize your profile or group before submitting the application; you can re-enter the portal anytime before the May 1 deadline to complete this step.

PLEASE NOTE: Room assignments are made based on the week you applied for housing. All roommate requests are subject to space availability at the time of your assignment and are NOT guaranteed. As a result,听students who apply closer to the application deadline are less likely to have their requests able to be accommodated.听
