Record date — Content editorial review date, not a new publisher retrieval.
This guide reports the general instructions on UCF’s Apply page. Those sections do not state a single effective academic year; separate 2026–2027 returning-resident/Rosen instructions and dated PDF links elsewhere on the page do not establish that every general instruction or window applies to a current application. No cycle is inferred from the footer or October 2026 retrieval. This guide covers the published matching window, group sizes and request limits, not a complete live-portal tutorial, an individual confirmation or a roommate assignment. No profile, screen name, message, group, agreement compatibility, appointment date, room or space for a full group was accessed or verified. Open Housing has separate opt-in, group-filling, selection, vacancy and consolidation guidelines on the same page. This guide reports only the matching compatibility distinction, not every Open Housing rule or a guarantee against a room change. It does not resolve the page’s conflicting double-negative sentence about force or substitute for the current agreement. No dates are assigned to an individual’s matching window. The page says selection dates vary by year and directs confirmed students to UCF email; the linked PDFs, tutorial videos, portals and external policy pages were not opened.
Matching begins at confirmed status and ends at the room-selection appointment. The page allows fall groups up to four in named agreements, but spring/summer agreements only one roommate request; matches remain availability-dependent preferences.
The Roommate Matching section says matching opens when a student obtains confirmed housing-agreement status and remains open until the student’s room-selection appointment date. For fall agreements in Academic Main, Towers, Rosen and NorthView, it allows groups of up to four individuals. Agreements beginning in spring or summer allow only one roommate request, regardless of agreement type; the fall four-person limit should not be generalized to them. The page describes unique web screen names for finding specific students, roommate profiles and a messaging function for considering potential matches. It says Housing cannot screen potential matches on students’ behalf. All matches remain requests and preferences, are subject to availability, and Housing reserves the right to assign students as needed. For students who opt into Open Housing, the page further limits roommate matching to others with the same agreement type who also opted in; students who do not opt in match and select with students of the same sex listed in myUCF. None of these tools or requests confirms a roommate placement or an available space for an entire group.
