Once you have completed your housing application, you have the opportunity to request or search for a roommate. All roommate requests must be mutual requests to be accepted. Students who opt to search for a roommate can search for a compatible roommate using the search feature on eRezLife. Instructions on how to request and search for a roommate will be sent via your USJ email upon completion of your housing application. Students who do not have a paired roommate will be automatically assigned a roommate using our Roomeez algorithm based upon your responses in your housing application.

Yes, we aim to pair first-year students with first-year students.

Typically, we try to match students that are new with other new students, but depending on availability of space, a transfer student, based on their preference, could be matched with a returning upper-class student.

All first-year and incoming students are randomly assigned to a residence hall. For returning students, a room selection process takes place every spring semester for returning students, where they have the chance to choose their room or building based on the Priority Points system.

Housing applications are available on eRezLife in April. Room assignments will be completed in early July. Once finalized, students are notified of their assignment and roommate information via their USJ email.

All students living in traditional halls will automatically be assigned the Gold Meal Plan (19 meals per week, or every meal served in the Dining Commons). All students living in suites will have the option to choose from the Bronze Meal Plan (10 meals per week) or the Gold Meal Plan.

An immunization form must be filed with Health Services. For more information on required medical documentation, visit the health services page (myUSJ log in required).

*Based upon specific room assignment the type of furniture (standalone versus built in) may vary.

A small number of single rooms are reserved for those with documented medical needs. Students need to submit a housing accommodation application and medical documentation to Accessibility Services. Approved accommodations are filled as available.

New students to the University complete their deposit through the Admissions process as either a Resident or Commuter student. If a student wishes to change their status, they should contact the Admissions Office.

Students returning to housing do not pay a housing deposit in order to apply.
