Step 2 – Apply for Housing

  • Log in to your student portal and submit the online housing application.
  • Pay the housing application fee.
  • If needed: Reset your TWU password.

Step 3 – Select a Roommate (Optional)

  • After completing your application, you have the option to join the roommate selection process.
  • Roommate requests must be accepted.

For a detailed step-by-step guide, view our Roommate Selection article.

Step 4 – Select a Building & Room (Optional)

  • Although optional, if you want to guarantee a spot in your preferred building, it's best to select your building and room.
  • Review the Building & Room Selection article for more details.
  • Keep an eye on the dates on your housing checklist or on the Housing Dates & Deadlines article so you know when building and room selection begins.

Note: Roommate and building/room selection are fully optional. If you do not select a room, Housing will manually place you in an available space and notify you by email. Please note that room change requests are not available until one week after move‑in. If you have a building or room‑type preference, we recommend selecting your own room.

Step 5 – Move In

  • No early arrivals—time is needed to prepare rooms.
  • Check Dates & Deadlines for move-in dates.
  • Move-in details will be emailed to your @mytwu account 2-3 weeks before your date.
  • You will need your student ID for building access and meal plan. If you haven't already done so, submit a request for a student ID card (follow photo guidelines).
