Housing assignments are released on a rolling basis, starting in early June from the order in which they were received. The housing application opens in December/January, so students who apply early will likely get their assignment information before students who apply in early April. Emails are sent to your FAU student email address with the housing assignment. You will be able to view your roommate and suite-mate information through the housing portal.
It is possible that we will not be able to house students who do not apply by the priority housing deadline.
New incoming first year students may request a roommate that they know by emailing housing@weizhundz.com from their FAU student email account, please include your name and the full name of your requested roommate.

Roommate and room type preferences are not guaranteed, however we make every effort to match these when possible.
