Step 1
Add yourself to the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 waitlist at my.fiu.edu by January 30, 2026.
To be eligible for any part of the Room Selection Process, you must be a current housing resident and be on the waitlist for 2026-2027 on-campus housing. Additionally, you must have paid off any housing balances from previous semesters.
Step 2
Participate in roommate matching on your housing portal when you receive your invitation. Students with completed applications will receive access as early as January 7 to start searching for roommates for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. Roommate matching will be available through February 9.
Roommate groups must be finalized by February 9.
Step 3
Receive your Room Selection instructions to Panther Mail/Preferred E-mail on February 6 at 5 pm. This will include important information needed for Room Selection including your appointment time. Appointments will be assigned based on a random number with priority given to students with a higher urgency for housing.
Step 5
Assign yourself to a room and complete the housing agreement during General Room Selection on February 16 - February 19. 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 2026-2027 academic year.
