The contract renewal system is divided into phases for ease of use. Eligibility is determined by where you currently live, your current University classification, and whether your room is available for the 2022-2023 Academic Year. Your eligibility is determined by your current University Residences criteria. If you have been displaced from your room because it will be unavailable, you will be given additional priority to renew your housing contract during the "Displaced Residents" phase.
With the exception of November 1, 2021, phases begin at 8:30 a.m. on the start date listed below.

Yes. It is possible that a particular space that is not currently available in Contract Renewal will open at a later time as students are able to change their room reservations or cancel their 2022-2023 Academic Year housing contract before Contract Renewal closes on February 28, 2022 at 11:55 p.m. Since it is a live system during the renewal process, you will need to keep checking Contract Renewal on a regular basis to see what spaces become available from room change reservations or cancellations.
What if someone tells me I can have their room next year?
That will make no difference in your ability to select the room. In order to reserve the room, you must select it and sign a 2022-23 Academic Year contract in Contract Renewal before someone else.
If you have requested a roommate in Contract Renewal, the student you have requested will be sent an email notification at their Purdue email address. They will then need to either accept or reject your request in Contract Renewal. Very Important! If your roommate request is accepted, you will also need to assign your accepted roommate request to the other space in the room you reserved before it is taken by another student.
Why do I have to know the Purdue Alias of the person I want as a roommate?
Knowing the Purdue Alias of the person you request as your roommate helps ensure the correct person is assigned as your roommate. This information is also used as an identifier in the system.
What if I don't see my roommate's name?
If a person's name is not in the Purdue Directory, it is most likely because they are not admitted to the University or have recently been admitted but not yet accepted their offer of admission. Contact your requested roommate to confirm they are admitted and have accepted their offer of admission for the 2022-2023 Academic Year.
If the person you want to request for a roommate is not currently living in University Residences and is not a new incoming beginning freshman or a new Exchange Program student for the 2022-23 Academic Year, they will be required to place their name on a waiting list to sign a housing contract. If space in University Residences is available after incoming student deadline, they will be notified and will be given eligibility to sign a housing contract.
For Incoming New Student Roommates
If you have requested a roommate in Contract Renewal, the student you have requested will be sent an email notification at their Purdue email address. They will then need to either accept or reject your request. Very Important! If your roommate request has been accepted, you will also need to assign your accepted roommate request to the other space in the room you reserved before it is taken by another student.
If your requested roommate has not yet accepted your request to be roommates, you may edit your contract and remove them as a requested roommate. If they have already accepted your request to be roommates, signed a contract, and are in the same room to which you have contracted for next year, you must change rooms if you wish to live with someone else.
If you wish to change your roommate request AFTER the contract renewal deadline on February 28, 2022, you will need to send an email. Your request will be considered but it is not guaranteed.
