Step 3 – (Optional) Create a Roommate Group

Roommate groups are a great way to save some time on room selection day and ensure that you and your potential roommates are in a room together next year!

Roommate groups can ONLY be managed by residents. Housing and Residence Life cannot create/modify/delete any roommate groups.

• After you’ve completed the housing application and paid the fee, return to the landing page to create or join a roommate group.
• Use the "Roommate Group" button prior to the deadline listed above (in important dates) to create or join a group.
• All students involved in the roommate group must have a completed application in order to be pulled into the group.
• This group can be modified until you select your room. Roommate groups cannot be modified or used after you’ve selected or been assigned a room.

CREATING A GROUP

• Search for your potential roommate(s) by using their: Name or UNCW Email ID.
• INVITE students to your roommate group.
• You may invite up to 3 additional students for a total of 4 people in your group.

JOINING A GROUP

• Login to your Housing Self-Service Portal on MySeaport to ACCEPT the Invitation in order to join.
• You may only be a part of one roommate group, though you can be invited to more than one. So be sure you are accepting the invitation to the group you wish to live with.

SELECTING A ROOM AS A GROUP:

HOWEVER, please check your ROOM ASSIGNMENT to ensure the selections were completed successfully prior to ignoring your time slot.
