Upperclassman Housing Assignments

Roommate and room assignment information is subject to change. To access your most up to date room assignment & roommate contact information, follow the steps below:

1. Access myBanner with your GVSU credentials supplied in your letter of admission.

3. Your housing assignment and roommate information will be listed under "My Assignments" in your myHousing portal.

Contact myhousing@gvsu.edu for additional housing assignment questions or concerns.

Returning, Transfer & Graduate students participate in room selection. You may self-select a specific unit based on the building, floor, unit, bedroom, and roommates that you would like. Note: roommate requests must be mutual.  After applying for housing, Phase one: Select who you would like to live with via My College Roomie.  Phase two: Select WHERE you would like to live, via the Housing Selection process in your myHousing portal.  For Fall-Winter, Phase One begins in the first week of November.  Phase Two, the selection of rooms, begins the following week in November. 

You can choose between our apartments on the Allendale Campus (Calder, Grand Valley Apartments, Laker Village, South C, D & E and VanSteeland), the Downtown Campus (Secchia and Winter), or a Living-Learning Community.

The room Selection Process opens in mid-November and will remain open until March 31. When you apply for Housing, you will automatically be added to the Selection Process. Please note, the process will be temporarily shut down in late November.

How to Select Rooms During Room Selection

Any student requesting a specific housing assignment based on a medical condition must register with Disability Support Resources. Housing accommodations will be coordinated based on DSR Advisor recommendations, date of application, and space availability.

If you would like to be added to a waiting list for a certain style of housing, please follow the steps below:

1. Access MyBanner with your network ID and password.
2. Once logged in, select "Student" and then select "myHousing."
3. Select "Apply/Cancel/Forms" and then “Room Change Waiting List" Complete the form and submit.
4. In the case of matched roommates, both students must submit the room change request form if they want to remain together.  

 If you would like to move to a Living Learning Community, please contact the housing office via email at myhousing@gvsu.edu. 

Room change requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and processed on an individual basis pending space availability. Space is limited and reassignment is not guaranteed. You are encouraged to work with your RA and Living Center Director staff to assist you with any roommate concerns you may be experiencing.
