News and Information

Housing Management System and Room Self-Selection

Due to the demand for on-campus housing, beginning May 22, 2012 the process of self-selection for a room and roommate in the Housing Management System (HMS) will be turned off. At this time, any unconfirmed roommate invitations will be canceled as well.

The Housing Assignments staff will assign students to a space in the future. They will try to use the preferences indicated on the housing application to make your room assignment.

Transfer and Returning Student Housing Application Process is CLOSED

Due to the overwhelming response, transfer and returning student housing applications are now closed. If you would like to be put on a wait list if additional space becomes available, please send your request to wvu-assign@mail.wvu.edu. Remember to include your WVU ID number and a telephone number in which you can be contacted if space does open.
