Roommates can be chosen as long as it is a mutual decision between both parties. There are two ways to accomplish this:

1. Incoming UIS students and Approved Affiliates can request a roommate when submitting their online Housing Contract. You will need the student’s UIN to submit your request. If you do not have the student’s UIN, then please contact the Residence Life office to make the request. 
2. You may request a roommate in the Student Housing Portal up until June 17th. After this date, please email Residence Life at reslife@uis.edu with your roommate request. Both students requesting to room together must each submit an email requesting one another for the request to be honored. After June 17th, roommate requests are NOT guaranteed. Please keep in mind, Residence Life does not honor suite mate requests in the residence halls.
