First Year Room Selection

Step 1 

A student must pay their $200 Admissions Deposit prior to applying for housing. Students will have access to submit a Housing Agreement the business day after the fee is paid.

First year students who pay their admission deposit by April 1 and apply for housing by May 1 will receive priority consideration for housing.

Submit your housing agreement at my.fiu.edu.

Step 2

Choose your roommates on your housing portal. Students who complete their housing agreement by the priority deadline will have until May 8 to choose their roommates.

Students with completed agreements will receive access as early as March 15 to start searching for roommates for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Roommate matching will be available through May 8.

Roommate groups must be finalized before room selection.

Step 3

Receive your Room Selection instructions to your Panther Mail/Preferred E-mail on May 6. This will include important information needed for Room Selection including your appointment time. 

Appointments will be made based on agreement completion date. You will also be able to pull in your friends to be your roommates in any empty spaces in the room you select during this process.

Step 4

Assign yourself to a room during General Room Selection on May 16 - May 20. Residents will be given an appointment to self-select their room for next year. 

At the time you select your room, you will also be able to pull in your friends to be your roommates.

*Housing and specific room types are not guaranteed.  You should only select a room you would be willing to live in for the 2025-2026 academic year.
