Freshmen Students: New Student Housing Application and Roommate Matching Preferences must be submitted by July 1, 2013

Roommate Matching:
The Roommate Matching section is found on the Mount St. Mary's University Symplicity Residence Housing System. On the system homepage, you will notice a box on the right that says "Your Passcode." This is a code generated for each resident, which you can give to another new student to link the two of you together. Before you give out your passcode, please be positive that you want to live with that person.
**Note: If you change your mind after giving out your passcode, you may go to the group tab to remove yourself from the group to which you're linked.
Students are not required to select a specific roommate.
Residence Life will match all students who do not select a specific roommate with other students based on compatible answers to the Roommate Questionnaire. All roommate selections and changes in the application must be completed by July 1, 2013. Applications will remain open to edit until the deadline as passed. Applications will show in draft form until submitted by the student. Please remember that new student will be assigned to various types of housing (2 person rooms, 3 person rooms, suites, etc.), which may require requested roommates to also be housed with one or more additional students. If you have any questions or difficulties with this process, please contact the Office of Residence Life at 301-447-5274 or residencelife@msmary.edu.
