How Room Renewal Works

• Every student who is choosing to remain in the same room next year must submit a Room Renewal application.
• Starting Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 10am EST, all students eligible for Room Renewal are able to submit a Room Renewal application. As part of your application, you will be asked to confirm that you want to remain in your current room again next year and sign your 2022-2023 Housing License Agreement (Here is a copy of the agreement if you would like to read it ahead of time.)
• If one or all of your current roommate/s are opting to stay in the same room and live together, each of you still needs to submit a separate Room Renewal application. Be kind and remind each other to complete their application.
• If you are staying and all of your roommates are choosing to live elsewhere and you don’t have anyone you want to pull-in to your current room to be your new roommate, you are finished! You have officially created your 2022-2023 housing assignment and you have finished with the entire housing process. We’ll be in touch again if and when we assign you a new roommate.
• If you are staying in your room and have space available to bring in/pull-in a new roommate, STEP #2 is for you.     

• To successfully send your friend/s a roommate group invitation, you’ll need their RMSID. This is the number in the housing system associated with every student. NOTE: this is different than your 8 digit GWID
  
• Here’s your RMSID: .  **Ask the person you want to be your new roommate for theirs.
  
• Once you invite your peer to your roommate group, they will receive an email inviting them to your group. The email will include directions on how to accept the invite and how to complete their housing application.

• Roommate groups operate on mutual consent, meaning that each individual has to affirmatively consent to joining a roommate group after being invited.
  
• Not answering or accepting a roommate group invitation is the main reason why desired roommate groups may not be assigned together. If you do not accept the invitation from the student who is keeping their room, you will not be pulled-into the room and assigned as their roommate.
• When accepting your roommate group invitation, you will also need to fully submit a housing application, including signing your 2022-2023 Housing License Agreement (Here is a copy of the agreement if you would like to read it ahead of time).

Keys to Room Renewal Success

• Talk with your current roommate(s), if you have roommates. Though every student eligible for Room Renewal has the right to keep their current room, we know that who you live with may be just as important to you as where you live. That conversation with your current roommate(s) about your housing desires for next year is important to make sure everyone understands what each other’s plans are. Not sure how to start that conversation? Your Community Coordinator is a great resource to assist you in navigating that conversation.
  
• Be on the lookout for roommate group invitations. If you are expecting a roommate group invite, it will come via email. That invite is critical! If you don’t accept it, you won’t be able to live with the friend who invited you into their current room.
  
• Weigh your options to the best of your ability. Ask yourself: am I okay with being assigned to a building or room that I desire less than my current room? If you don’t participate in Room Renewal, you won’t have the chance to change your mind and keep your room after this request period ends. If this is the case for you, you will have to apply for housing at a later period and eventually be assigned to a building and room not yet known to you.
