Record date — Content editorial review date, not a new publisher retrieval.
The named first-year request route and dated matching deadline belong to the published Fall 2027–Spring 2028 context. The May 1, 2027 deadline is expressly subject to change. This is not confirmation that matching is open now or that the same date governs a later cohort or returning-student renewal. A mutual request, group size or preference priority does not establish a housing offer, a single-room assignment or an individual match. No student application, roommate request, acceptance, orientation reservation, group, renewal account or available room was inspected. The linked portals and forms were not opened.
The page places first-time college students’ requests in the academic-year application’s Roommate Request page and lists a May 1, 2027 matching deadline subject to change. Mutual requests take priority over room-type preferences, but matching is not guaranteed.
For Fall 2027–Spring 2028, FAU’s page says first-time college students complete requests through the Roommate Request page of that academic-year housing application. Its academic-year table lists May 1, 2027 as the deadline to request and complete roommate matching for newly admitted first-year students, explicitly subject to change. The tips say roommate requests take priority over room-type preferences, such as a single room, but matching is not guaranteed; FAU says it will try to match students mutually requested by the deadline. Application-completion date and Orientation Reservation are considerations in matching, not a confirmed outcome. The page lists roommate groups of two, three or four students. A separate bullet says returning students participating in contract renewal may preference roommates and suitemates only during renewal; the first-year route should not be treated as a complete renewal guide.
