Yes. It is possible that a particular space that is not currently available in Reapplication will open at a later time as students are able to change their room reservations or cancel their 2024-25 Academic Year housing application before Reapplication closes on February 28, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Since it is a live system during the renewal process, you will need to keep checking Reapplication 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 2024-25 Academic Year application in Reapplication before someone else.
If you have requested a roommate in Reapplication, 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 Reapplication. 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. Your desired roommate will need to have a signed housing application before requesting them in the housing portal. Contact your requested roommate to confirm they are admitted, have accepted their offer of admission for the 2024-25 Academic Year, and have a signed housing application.
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 2024-25 Academic Year, they will be required to place their name on a waiting list to sign a housing application. If space in University Residences is available after the incoming student deadline, they will be notified and will be given eligibility to sign a housing application.
For Incoming New Student Roommates
If you have requested a roommate in Reapplication, 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 an application, 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 reapplication deadline on February 28, 2024, you will need to send an email. Your request will be considered but it is not guaranteed.
