your application as soon as possible.

Step Two (Optional): Create a Roommate Group
- Inside your application you will have a page titled "Roommate Selection". You can create a group and invite other students to join your group.
- You must have the exact Marian email address belonging to your preferred roommate to invite them into a group. They must have completed an application for 2024-2025 in StarRez, be a student on the same campus as you, and they must be the same gender.
