Room Assignments Priority

  • Returning Residents: Choose their rooms in April.
  • New Residents: Assigned based on application date and time.

Criteria for Room Assignment

  • Hall Preference: We first check for available spaces in your preferred hall.
  • Room Type: If your preferred room type is available in that hall, you'll get it. If not, we'll give you the next available room type in the same hall. This is because some halls are designated for specific groups like freshmen, transfers, or those who prefer a quiet environment.
  • Second and Third Hall Choices: If your first choice is full, we'll move to your next hall preferences.
  • If All Choices Are Full: We'll find the next best available space for you.

Roommate Request

  • Mutual Requests: Both you and your desired roommate must have identical preferences and submit your housing applications together. Include the Fresno State ID# for a higher chance of being paired.
  • Room Availability: To be placed together, there must be an entirely vacant room at the time of your assignment.
