Step 3. Answer Application Questions

Step 4. Living Learning Community (LLC) and Gender Inclusive housing interest.
- Indicate any interest in an LLC or gender-inclusive housing on your application.
- When you are finished adding living interests, select “Continue.”
- A confirmation page will appear, notifying you that your New Student Housing Application has been submitted.
- If you said yes to either interest in an LLC or gender-inclusive housing return to myhousing.oswego.edu to complete the appropriate agreements.
Step 5. Submit Roommate Requests
- After you have completed your New Student Housing Application, return to the main menu at myhousing.oswego.edu and select 'Room Selection.'

Note that:
- Only students who have completed the New Student Housing Application will be able to request or be requested as mates.
- Mate-matching must be mutual to form a fully matched group. Specifically, if your requested mate does not request you as their mate, you will not be assigned a room together.
- You will not be able to match with mates once you or your mate has been assigned to a room.
Step 6. Complete Agreements
Students who plan to live in Gender Inclusive Housing or one of our Living Learning Communities must complete the appropriate agreement at myHousing.oswego.edu. Students who do not complete the agreement may be reassigned to other housing.
Please note that we do our very best to honor your living interests; however, we cannot guarantee our ability to do so.
