You can configure Housing to allow for roommates and roommate matching. To configure registration to allow roommates:
- Click the Events link from the Main Menu. The Events page opens.
- Select the event for roommates.
- Right-click and select Tools -> Registration Setup. The Registration Setup window opens.
- Expand the More Settings section.
- Check the Allow Roommates box.
- Click the Save (disk) button.
Now that you have enabled roommates, a field becomes available on the Housing page in online registration. Registrants can select whether they want to Allow or Deny Room Sharing. If registrants choose to Allow Room Sharing, they can enter the name of their preferred roommate. This information is used for Roommate Matching.
Roommate Matching
After registrants have submitted their room sharing and roommate requests, you can match roommates with other registrants that have also allowed Room Sharing.
- Click the Events link from the Main Menu. The Events page opens.
- Select the event for roommate matching.
- Right-click and select Edit -> Edit. The Edit Event window opens.
- Select the Rooming List tab. The Room Sharing column shows whether the registrant has allowed for roommates. The Preferred Roommate column shows the name of the registrant's preferred roommate if the registrant entered one.
- Select a registrant from the Rooming List tab.
- Right-click and select Assign Roommates. The Assign Roommates window opens. This screen displays a list of all registrants that can share a room with the selected registrant. For potential matches to show in this list the registrants must:
- Allow roommates
- Have the same room type
- Have the same room dates
- Select the desired roommate.
- Click the Select button. The registrant is added as a roommate and appears under the selected registrant on the Rooming List tab.
