Room Selection for Future Mustangs

Room and Roommate selection are first come, first serve. The housing portal will update the Fall 2024 room assignments in real-time. To see your current room assignment, roommate, and meal plan, please log onto the Housing Portal.

Room Selection and Assignment Timeline:

• Students who designate a Living Learning Program (LLP) on their housing application will be automatically assigned to their room starting April. You can check your room status on the Housing Portal. These students will have the ability to participate in Open Room Selection however, by doing so they will opt out of the LLP communities they were assigned.
• Students who have applied and paid the advanced payment on or before May 1 can select rooms beginning at noon CST on June 10. Students will have until June 14 to make their Room selections.
• Students who have applied and paid the advanced payment between May 2 - June 1, can select rooms beginning at noon CST on June 10. Students will have until June 15 to make their Room selections. 
• All students who do not participate in Room Selection will be manually assigned to a housing space by the end of June.
• Late housing applicants (anyone applying after June 1) will be assigned during the months of July and August.

Information about your Username and Password to log into the MyResCenter housing portal was emailed to your MSU Texas student email upon being accepted into the university. If you cannot find that information or need assistants logging in, please contact the Office of Residence Life and Housing during business hours, Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm at 940-397-4217 or housing@msutexas.edu. 

Please note that the link will not appear until your designated room selection date (see important dates above).

When applying for housing, you have the ability to request a specific student to be your roommate. The name of this mutually requested roommate will appear on the first page. Check the box if you still wish to live with this individual. 

Remember that roommate requests must be mutual and will not appear unless the other student has selected you as well.

If you discover a potential roommate in the time leading up to Fall, we recommend that both you and your desired roommate complete the Room Change Request form on Mustangs Link. These requests will be approved or denied on a first come first serve basis if spaces are available. Contact the Residence Life and Housing office for more information or check out the Room Change Request Policy webpage for information and detailed instructions.

  • Semi-Private KH = Killingsworth Hall Double Room (with roommate)
  • Semi-Private RH = Legacy Hall Double Room (with roommate)

  • Private MT = McCullough-Trigg Hall Private Room
  • Private RH = Legacy Hall Private Room 
• Click on the "Search" Button
• Room results will appear on the next page.
  • In the residence halls, room numbers with "A" will indicate the space closest to the door and "B" will indicate the space closest to the window. In McCullough-Trigg Hall, "A" will indicate the space to the left and "B" will indicate the space to the right; both spaces have a private door and window.
  • Please note that there may be more than one page, depending on the number of available spaces
  • If no rooms appear, this means there are no spaces available meeting your search criteria. If this happens, go back to the previous page and change the search criteria.
• Click on the room number you would like to choose.
  • If there are other occupants in the room, it will indicate those potential roommates here.
  • If you do not want to select this room, click on "Room Search Results" next to your name and it will take you back to view a different room.
• Once you have your desired room selected, click "Select this room"

You may change rooms as many times as you would like until June 10. Remember that changes happen frequently during the room selection process. The information available is in "real-time" and reflects the current room assignments. The final room selection on June 10 will be your room assignment for Fall.

A Living Learning Program (LLP) is a community where students with similar academic goals and common interests live together in a designated residence hall. Students enrolled in an LLP are housed together with access to faculty, staff, and programming unique to each program's special interest area to enhance the Mustangs residential experience. 

Students wishing to join an LLP simply need to indicate this desire on their housing application and they will be auto-assigned to their community if space is available. These rooms are blocked from the room selection process. 

If you did not designate an LLP on your housing application, there is still time to sign up. Simply log back into the Housing Portal and change your first room choice to the LLP program, or contact the Office of Residence Life and Housing for more information.

MSU Texas offers academic LLPs in the following areas:

• Business
• Education
• Fine Arts
• Health & Human Sciences
• Math & Science

These students will be housed in Legacy Hall and will room with students who share their chosen major.

MSU Texas offers special interest LLPs including:

• Transfer Students
• Esports and Gaming Community

We have identified several groups of students whose experiences, needs, and interests are unique to our campus. The First Generation students are housed in Killingsworth Hall, Transfers Students will be housed in the apartments and eSports will be housed in Legacy Hall.

The Red Wine Honors Program and Priddy Scholars accept students into their programs based on specific criteria. These students are also housed together in Legacy Hall pending acceptance into these programs.

The Office of Residence Life and Housing recognizes an important aspect of the college experience is a student's living situation. Informal learning opportunities outside of the classroom often occur in the informal living environment. As a dynamic living-learning community, we are striving to meet your unique housing needs. 

Students transferring to Midwestern State University from another university or who are returning to campus after a brief absence are encouraged to look into the Transfer Student Living Learning Program. Spaces are very limited and fill up quickly. 

For questions or more information, please contact Housing@MSUTexas.edu 

Many students have unique housing needs that require accommodations. To begin this process, we encourage all students to contact the Office of Disability Support Services to learn about the ways that the University can assist them while living and learning at Midwestern State University.

Students who have documentation on file with the Office of Disability Support Services for housing accommodations will need to complete their room intention form online. Follow the link to Disability Support Services for information on how to complete this form. Once submitted, you will be contacted by the Office of Residence Life and Housing to provide assistance with the remainder of your room selection process. We will set up a time to meet and determine what course of action is best for your individual living situation.
