1 Here is the log-on screen for the Residential Management System software. You will log in with your UMassD username and password. This screen is the welcome screen. On the left, click "I am an incoming [varies] student," then "Preferences and Contract."

2 Here is the first "actual" screen of the first-year preference and contract screen. (You may have to scroll down to see the whole thing. Please note that you will need access to an account to complete the online signing portion. If you are requesting a specific roommate, you will need his or her UMass Dartmouth student ID number (8 digits, usually beginning with 01). Please click "Next Step" to continue.

3 This screen is where you enter your Emergency Contact information. Items with a red asterisk next to them are required. This includes a personal cell phone number (or other personal phone number) on the top portion of the page. Information in the bottom right - the "Missing Persons" portion - will ONLY be used in the event a student goes missing. We are required by state law to ask for this information. Once you have filled in the necessary information, please click "Next Step" to continue.

4 Okay, here's where it gets moderately complicated - roommate choices. IF you would like to select a specific roommate, here is where you enter his or her student ID number (eight digits). Click the green "plus" button to bring up the search box. You will then type in the student ID number and click "Search." If the other student is eligible for on-campus housing, his or her information will come up. You can then click "Select." Please note that roommate requests are based on mutual request and space availability. Scroll (slightly) down to continue to the next part of the page.

5 Directly below the roommate search section is the Roommate Matching Preferences section. Here you can answer questions about your preferences for roommates. Please answer the questions as accurately as possible. Housing will use this information to attempt to match students with roommates.

6 At the bottom of this page you select your preferences for building and room type. You can select up to six preferences, but, like with roommate requests, these are not guaranteed. Click the box by "Preference Type" to bring up "building." Then (you may have to wait a second or two) you can click on the box below it to bring up the options for housing. Once that is selected, you can click on the bottom box and select a specific room type. Again, please do not limit yourself to one room type, as specific buildings/room types fill up quickly. Click on "Next Step" to continue.
