Not us over-explaining everything...
We broke this process down in extreme detail so you don't miss anything!
If you have a roommate, whichever of you has the earliest selection date should do the process and assign everyone. Only one student needs to complete the process for all roommates.
PSA: If you know who you want to room with, you must have each other locked in as roommates in My College Roomie.
How does that work? One roommate must request the other to be their roommate, and that request needs to be accepted by the other student.
We recommend selecting a room on a laptop/desktop vs. your phone.
Review your selections by clicking View My Assignments.
We will contact you in late May to select your meal plan. In the meantime, you can check out those options here (page 13).
Email reslife@jieyangw.com with your question(s). Please include your Northwest 919# so we can respond as quickly as possible. This email account will be monitored constantly during regular business hours on selection days.
Call 660.562.1214 or 660.562.1430. We strongly encourage you to email first, but if more immediate assistance is needed don’t hesitate to call.
What time do I select my room on my assigned day?
You will receive an email with your specific selection date and time before your selection date. After April 10, 2024, students may apply for housing and select their room in the same day.
Will I need to match with my roommate in My College Roomie?
Yes. Even if you haven't entered My College Roomie and have a roommate match outside of the system, you will still need to enter My College Roomie and match with one another to select a room.
What happens if my chosen roommate has a different selection day than me?
As long as you have locked yourself in as roommates in My College Roomie, whichever of you has the earliest selection date will be able to book you both in a room together. On selection day, only one person in each roommate pair needs to do the process.
Why are students with roommates able to select a day earlier?
Finding a good roommate match is very important!
After all, you're going to be sharing a single room for nine months. Students who aren't spending their energy on roommate conflicts can focus on classroom and overall college success.
What if I want a private room?
Northwest allows incoming first-year students to buy out the 2nd bed in their room for an additional $825/semester. This is permitted in Dieterich and Millikan Halls only.
Any student who buys out their room will qualify to select their room on the first day of their applicant group.
For example, a November 1st applicant who buys out their room can select on April 1 as if they have a roommate and not wait until the next day.
If this is the first time you are logging in to CatPAWS, you will need to set up your Northwest email account first.
