Room Assignments
Your Room Assignment
Once your Housing Application has been processed, you will receive an email at your Marshall email address with your room assignment.
Due to a high volume of requests for certain residence halls, not all students will be placed in the hall of their first choice. Should this occur, your name will automatically be placed on a waiting list for that residence hall.
Roommate Information
- Roommate information for First Time Freshman is sent in June in the room assignment email. If you would like to receive your future roommate’s email and their cell phone number, visit the “Check Assignment Status” button below.
- Roommate information may not be available if a student requests their contact information to be kept private.
