We urge you to pack conservatively. Don’t try to bring everything you own! Remember, you have to find a place in your room for everything you bring. If you live close to FGCU or know that you will be going home in the near future, you can pick-up additional items then.

ROOM ASSIGNMENTS

Assignments are sent to your postal mail and email address in early June.  Your roommate's names are included in your assignment letter along with their email address. You can also view this information in our online housing portal at http://housingportal.fgcu.edu/. 
Roommate requests must be submitted by both or all individuals in writing (either on the housing application, by email to Housing@fgcu.edu or by updating your application in the online portal at http://housingportal.fgcu.edu/).  Only mutual roommate requests are considered at the time of assignment. The Office of Housing & Residence Life makes every attempt to honor roommate requests.  Please keep in mind that demand is high and we often cannot honor all requests.  Please note that rooms and roommate information may change due to cancellations.
