How do roommate groups work at UT Austin?

DIRECT ANSWER

Students with signed contracts can form roommate groups; the group member with the earliest selection time can place the group into an available room.

Starting in February, contracted students can form roommate groups in the housing portal. UT's incoming-resident process says the roommate with the earliest selection time can assign both roommates to an available room. In the Family and Friend option, groups can contain two to four students where the room type supports it.
