How to Use Roommate Matching

Once you have an agreement with a Confirmed status, Roommate Matching becomes available to you in the Housing Portal.

Roommate Matching is an offered service to help you find preferred roommates. These matches should be viewed as requests and preferences only. All roommate requests are subject to availability and UCF Housing reserves the right to assign students as needed.

Fall agreements for Academic Main, Towers, Rosen, and NorthView will allow groups made of up to four individuals. Agreements beginning in the Spring or Summer semester, irrespective of agreement type, will allow only one roommate request.

Note: Under Academic Main agreements, only First Years can match with First Years.
