Roommate Selection
For New Residential Students
Newly accepted students are encouraged to apply for on-campus housing as soon as possible, by completing the Housing Application available through the Housing Self-Service. This step can only be completed once a student has been accepted to Adelphi and submitted a deposit. Campus housing is not guaranteed. Deposits must be received by University Admissions by May 1 for fall admission, or as soon as possible for spring admission. The housing application and deposit can also be paid online.
For Current Residential Students
Continuing students wishing to reserve a room for the following year must participate in the Current Student Room Selection Process.

Room Change Request
Living on campus can come with many new experiences and challenges, even if the person you are rooming with matches your roommate profile on paper, the real world comes with all kinds of nuances that cannot be fully addressed in a short questionnaire.
During the academic year, when you have moved in and classes are in session, the first step in the room change process is a check in with your building staff, this can be started with the RAs in your building or even the Assistant Director overseeing your community. This paraprofessional and professional staff are trained in supporting students to address roommate concerns and interpersonal conflicts in the community and can provide coaching and encouragement for you to address your concerns, or even provide a safe space to address the situation with an impartial mediator.
Unfortunately, there are some issues that cannot be resolved with communication and that’s where our room change process comes into play. Once you have spoken with your Assistant Director, they will provide you with a room change request form where you can outline your preferences and expectations. If a room that meets your preferences is available, we will offer you a room change, and you will receive instructions on how you can visit the potential room and meet your potential future roommate and then how to proceed with the checkout and check in process. While room changes may not always be possible, our staff has a vested interest in ensuring we provide support in making your experience in our Residential Community a positive one.
Please be aware that room change requests are not guaranteed, and we will be considering your request form and availability at that time to find a suitable space. We appreciate your patience throughout this process. You will receive a response from us as soon as possible.
