How to Self-Assign
Students who apply by the designated deadline will receive a Room Selection Number and time slot to self-assign to a room. At the given time, follow the steps below to complete your room assignment.
1. Login to My Housing and select the Self-Assign tab on the gold navigation bar, then choose the correct Application term.
2. View the Room List: You can narrow your room search on the Room List step by Room Type, Area, Building, and Rooms. You will only be able to see buildings/rooms in which you are eligible to live for that application term.
- If you have an "accepted" roommate(s), the student with the earliest room selection time slot should use their time slot to self-assign and place any accepted roommates in the room also. Only roommates who accepted their group invitation will be pulled into that room.
- If you do not have a confirmed roommate, please search for an open room in an apartment where other students have been assigned. Please do not select a room in an empty apartment unless there are no other options.
3. ADD TO CART the room you want for yourself.
4. Select a bed for yourself.
5. Click ASSIGN BEDS.
Note: You can use Room Swap to make changes to your room assignment.
Please Note
- The My Housing portal will experience a high volume of traffic when self-assign opens. Rather than use that system to explore your room options, we recommend you visit the Available Rooms page (linked in the email with your time slot information) until closer to your time slot.
- First-year students must acknowledge the requirements of choosing an apartment prior to completing the self-assign process.
- Once you have an assignment, you can change that room assignment and reassign to another room until self-assign is closed. You may review your assignment in your application on the Room and Roommate Step.
- Georgia Institute of Technology Housing reserves the right to reassign students.
- If you fail to self-assign by the designated time, Housing & Residence Life will make your room assignment based on availability.
