   2. Please note: when you add or remove a roommate request, it will generate a simple email and send it to that student.
6. You may select up to 3 other people to be in your roommate/suitemate group (maximum group size of 4). To be assigned to housing together, you must be shown as fully matched with the other members of your group, meaning that you all selected each other.

Only students who have completed the BAC Returning Student Housing Application through MyHousing will appear in roommate selection. If someone does not appear in roommate selection, that means they have not completed their housing application. Feel free to encourage them to go to MyHousing and complete their application!

Remember: roommate selection ends at 11:59 PM ET on Sunday, April 24th. Roommate selection will re-open at 10:00 AM on April 27th and remain open for the duration of room selection (until 11:59 PM on May 2nd).

You will receive a room selection date based on your academic year, and start time-based on your GPA. Please note your room selection date, based on your current, cumulative academic credits above.

Once you are assigned to your room selection day, you will receive a start time based on your GPA (the person with highest GPA for your room selection date receives the earliest start time for that date).  You will be able to view your room selection date and start time on the front page of MyHousing, starting at 5:00 PM on April 27th.  When your start time arrives, you will be able to select a room in MyHousing. You have until 11:59 PM on Sunday, May 2nd to select a room. To select a room in MyHousing, do the following once your start time arrives:
