To pick your own roommate, you need to submit a roommate request.
- Apply for residence by logging in to your residence account
- In the residence application, choose the same preferred residence building and unit type as your roommate(s)
- Complete the Roommate Requests and Questionnaire (in your residence account, under home, find the online forms for the semester you applied to)
- You must include your roommate(s) 7-digit ID number
- Ensure the roommates you request also request you in their questionnaire
We recommend you apply at the same time as your preferred roommate(s) to help ensure you’re assigned together.
To make changes to your roommate request or your roommate questionnaire after you’ve submitted your application, email housing@ualberta.ca.
Roommate requests for upper year students in HUB, Nîpisîy House and Pinecrest and Tamarack House are guaranteed for Fall 2023 if the steps under "How do I pick my own roommate?" are completed by February 15.
Rooms are assigned on a first come, first served basis, so roommates are encouraged to apply at the same time to ensure the best possibility of being assigned to their first choice of residence and unit type.
