How to Join or Leave a Roommate Group, for Students

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Have you received an invitation from another student, asking you to join their roommate group? This guide explains how to accept or decline the invitation and, if desired, how to leave an established roommate group later if you change your mind. Your student biography does not need to be made public to join or form a roommate group.

See How to Form a Roommate Group, for Students to learn more about generating a unique URL invitation.

 

1. Log in to your Resident Portal using the URL provided by your school.

 

2. The roommate group invitation you received includes a unique URL sent by your group leader. Copy and paste the link into your web browser.

 

3. The invite page will display your group leader's name with options to either Accept Invite or Decline.

Note: You cannot accept the invite if you have outstanding documents or payments. Access your Application to fulfill any requirements, if necessary, in order to continue.

Note: You can only be part of one roommate group at a time. If you already accepted another invitation, you'll be prompted to leave that group in order to join this new group. Or, if you are already an established group leader of another group, you will be prompted to Dissolve Your Group and Accept Invite. Dissolving your group will delete the group and all members will be returned to a single applicant status.
