My Room Selection Information - This area describes in greater detail any future room lotteries listed on the Home/Overview Screen.
Roommate Selection - Students can use our Facebook Appliction RoomSync to locate potential roommates. Once they have identified a roommate students use this area to enter roommate requests in SUs MyHousing Portal. After the student has entered a roommate request the system will try to uniquely identify that person and tell the student if the matching roommate has also selected him/her. If the 1st roommate sees the 2nd roommate's name and a message "Does not Match" it means the 2nd roommate has not entered a preference for the 1st roommate. When the 2nd roommate picks the 1st roommate both students will see "(Match) Yes ". First and last name are the only required fields. Students who have trouble locating a roommate can e-mail housing@ship.edu. You only need to enter first and last name. If you cannot find the student try entering last name only. The requested student must also be a confirmed housing student.
Separate Lotteries - New freshman and transfer students will be in one lottery. Returning students will be in other lotteries. The new student lottery starts and ends at the same time for all students. The lottery allows students to enter roommate preferences. Students can go through the lottery at any time during the lottery. Students may continue to enter preferences, but keep in mind the housing office may have already made the assignment when the preference was entered.
New Students wishing to live with Returning Students - The returning student should contact the housing office when they select a room to hold the vacancy for the new student. After the new student confirms by signing the housing agreement and paying the $200 he/she should email the housing@ship.edu requesting the returning student and the room being held.
