Residence Hall Applications - NMU Housing and Residence Life

• To participate in roommate selection you must have:
  • Completed your housing application
  • Paid the $50 application fee
  • Paid the $200 advanced payment
• Matched roommate means you have requested someone and that person confirmed your request.
• The system will only allow students of the same gender (the gender indicated on their admissions application) to pair as roommates.  Gender inclusive housing is available upon request (contact our office with questions: 906.227.2620 or housing@nmu.edu).
• If you have a matched roommate who does not meet the criteria to select a room in one of the halls, those halls will not show up as an option for you when selecting a room.
• Unsure who you want to live with?
  • Create a profile in the Housing Portal to meet other residents
  • Participate in orientation
  • Let our office assign you based on your preferences and what’s available

Be sure to watch your NMU email for periodic notifications. 

If you have a matched roommate, it is essential that only one of you participate in this process.

1. Login to MyNMU and enter the housing portal (found in the Housing and Residence Life tile).
2. Select the Housing Application tab.
3. Navigate to the end of the Housing Application.
4. Select a room type you would like to live in.
   • A list of available spaces for which you are eligible will appear.  You are able to view how many spaces are available in each room. If you don't see anything you may need to change the filtering options on the left.
   • You should also click on More Info for the room before you choose it to see if there are any special conditions for the room, such as if it is marked as an Overflow Room.
5. Assign yourself to the room.  Choose which space in the room you want to assign yourself to and which space you want to assign your roommate to.
6. After you hit the Save & Continue button, it will take a few moments for the next page to load.  Do not click refresh, back, or close the tab.  Once you have completed this step, an email confirmation will be sent to your NMU email.
