MyOKWU: How to Request a Roommate

Getting Started

       1. Navigate to the Residence Life Section of your portal

2. Click on the "Roommate" link and then choose a session (ex. 2025 Fall)

Checking Current Roommates

The "My Roommates" section will display:

  - Students who have accepted your roommate requests

  - Students who have declined your roommate requests

Sending a New Roommate Request

1. Locate the "New Request" text box

2. Begin typing the name of the person you want as a roommate

3.  When their name appears in the dropdown, select it

Finalizing Your Request

Click the "Send Request" button

A pop-up window will appear with vital information:

  -  Any other roommate requests that include you will be declined

  -  You won't be able to receive any other roommate requests

If you want to proceed, click "Send Request" again

## Tracking Your Request

 - Your request will appear in the "Pending Request" section

 - If the student accepts your request, their name will move to the "Accepted Requests" section

Important Notes

  - You can only have one accepted roommate at a time

  - Sending a new request will affect your existing requests

If you want to triple, one student will have to send out the requests to both roommates.
