Roommate Matching
Once RCC verifies the housing application and confirms eligibility, potential residents will be entered into UCR’s roommate matching system. This system allows potential residents to select a roommate, be matched with compatible roommates, and determine availability. This system allows residents to:
- Select a roommate,
- Be matched with compatible roommates, and
- Determine unit availability.
Please note that being entered into the UCR system does not guarantee a housing space, as assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once you are notified about roommate matching, you will have a limited time to accept your assignment. Failure to do so will result in disqualification from housing.
