Sign your license in your Housing Portal. New future residents may complete it now. Current residents may complete it starting February 3rd.

Complete the 2025-2026 Resident Application & License in your Housing Portal. You must be an accepted student to TWU. New residents will pay a $50 application fee and $100 deposit.

• Log in to the Housing Portal
• Click on "Apply for Housing" from the top menu
• Click "Apply" in the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 box
• Complete and submit the application & license. You will receive a confirmation email upon completion.

Choose or add your roommate via Part 2 of the application in your Housing Portal. After completing Part 1 of your application & license, you will be able to access Part 2 for Roommate Matching.

NOTE: New future residents will also be able to complete Part 2 starting February 3rd.

Completing Part 2 for roommate matching enables you to find your roommate or meet potential roommates. Once you have created a roommate group, you will be able to add them to your room during self-selection. Roommates must be matched online in order to create an official roommate group. Roommate groups determine roommate pairs. If you already have someone in mind to be your roommate, you will still need to set up a profile and request each other in Part 2 of the Housing Application License.

Current Residents: Select your room in your Housing Portal according to the Room Selection + Assignment Dates schedule below. If you miss your room selection period, you may participate in future selection dates.

New Residents: You will be assigned a room based on your student classification, room preference, and roommate matching profile. Please refer to the Room Selection + Assignment Dates schedule below.

Current family housing residents must reapply between February 3-23 to guarantee their apartment. Family housing assignments for new and current applicants begin in early March.

2025-2026 Family Housing applicants may view their room assignment in their housing portal. If no assignment is listed, that means the student is not yet assigned. If a family housing apartment is not available by September 1, the student’s $100 housing deposit will be refunded.

Detailed step-by-step instructions regarding how to locate and complete your 2025-2026 application/license, how to select a roommate, and how to select or be assigned a room can be found in the Room Selection Instructions document starting in early February.

Meal plans are required for residents in Parliament Village, Guinn, and Stark Halls. Meal plan selection will be available in your Housing Portal starting in the late spring.

Those who select a room but then want to change must have all affected residents in both rooms mutually agree to switch and then all email housing@twu.edu. Room reassignment is not guaranteed. 

All TWU full-time single undergraduates who have not completed 60 credit hours AND are under the age of 21 are required to live in University residential communities. For complete details of the residency requirement and information about requesting exemption from the residency requirement, please review the Residency Requirement Information webpage. 

If you are under 18 at the time of completing your application, a parent or legal guardian will also need to sign the Housing & Dining license. This must occur for the application/license to be considered complete and submitted. The parent/guardian signature process will automatically be included in your application process if you are under the age of 18.

Certain areas of Parliament Village are designated as Living Learning Communities (LLC). If an LLC student has a preferred roommate, the roommate must be a part of the same LLC in order to be roommates. For more details about Living Learning Communities, please see the Living Learning Communities Webpage. 

All TWU residents must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per semester. Residents will need to enroll in a majority (of at least 51% of all credit hours) of in-person courses for Fall 2025. An appeal form for this requirement is available in the Housing Portal after April 1.

Current students have the opportunity starting each year in February to complete their future application and license, as well as participate in roommate matching. If a resident does not match with someone, TWU Housing & Dining staff will utilize the resident’s roommate matching questionnaire when assigning another resident to the space. During self-selection, other residents may opt into any available room with an open space.

New students to campus housing for the fall will also be able to participate in roommate matching starting in February. 

Flex Housing is a voluntary housing option in which two or three students mutually agree to share housing accommodations without regard to the sex of the occupants. By selecting the Flex Housing option, students will be able to roommate match and/or be assigned housing with other students who also opted in to Flex Housing.

Residents are encouraged to review the Community Living section of the Residence Life Handbook to prepare for living with a roommate and in a building of their peers.
