The Department of Housing and Residence Life has changed to online housing selections for 2014.

The process lasted from April 14 through April 21. Students were able to log in to housing.muw.edu and create a username and password. Once they completed that task, they completed the housing application in order to receive a room draw timeslot.

A clock appeared in the top right of the webpage, which was the countdown clock.

Then students were able to log in to the housing application site to pick their own rooms. Here, students could see floor layouts and find out who might be their neighbors.

Students could also send roommate requests to others by simply clicking from the drop-down menu. If a particular student had an earlier time slot and requests another student as a roommate, then that student will have to accept it within 24 hours.

If there are any questions regarding this new and advanced way of selecting housing, students are asked to contact Housing and Residence Life at (662)-329-7127. Students may also visit the department’s home page at muw.edu/housing.
