eRezLife
eRezLife is the online housing system Cedarville uses to manage housing in our residence halls and Student Communities.
Through eRezLife, you’ll complete everything from creating your student profile to selecting your room or unit. You can even form groups with friends or connect with potential roommates using Roommeez, a matching tool that pairs students based on interests and living preferences.
When making housing selections in eRezLife, you’ll use the Groups feature to fill spaces with the friends you want to live with. You can create a group, invite others to join, and then select your housing together, making it easy to secure a space as a unit.
All housing selections, including apartments, townhouses, Shrubsole, graduate housing, and married student housing, will be managed through this platform. The eRezLife system makes it easy to view available spaces, sign up, and stay connected with Residence Life throughout the semester.

eRezLife FAQs
How do I access eRezLife?
You can access eRezLife directly through your MyCU page or the Residence Life webpage. Simply sign in using your Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials to access all eRezLife features.
How do I sign up for housing?
After signing in to eRezLife, complete your profile and submit your housing application for the current semester.
When does housing selection open?
Student Communities (except Cedar Park and graduate student housing) will open at the same time for housing selection. Residence Halls will open according to a schedule based on students’ earned credit hours.
Your housing selection date will be determined by your earned credit hours as listed on the Residence Life webpage
What if I don't know who my roommate is?
For residence halls only, students may select a single bed without having a pre-selected roommate. The other bed in the room will remain open for selection, and if needed, Residence Life may assign another student to fill that space.
All Student Communities will be filled by groups only.
What does "Groups Must Fill" mean?
“Groups Must Fill” means your roommate group must match the exact number of beds in a designated space. This applies to specific Student Communities (not residence halls). Group sizes include:
- Apartments: groups of two or four students
- Townhouses: six students
What does "Gender on the Fly" mean?
When a student selects a bed, the gender for that space is automatically determined based on that student’s gender.
How do I find a roommate?
eRezLife features a roommate-matching tool called Roomeez. Create a personalized profile, set your roommate preferences, and answer lifestyle questions to find compatible matches. Once your profile is complete, you can connect with other students to find a roommate that may be compatible with you.
What does it mean to be part of a roommate group?
Being part of a roommate group lets you select housing together. One person creates the group and invites friends via email. Those invited must approve the request to join. During housing selection, one group member will choose housing on behalf of everyone.
How do I create a roommate group?
After completing your roommate profile in eRezLife:
- Create a group name.
- Add members using their Cedarville email addresses.
- Each invited student must have an active profile, complete the housing application, and approve the invitation before being added.
How many roommate groups can I be a part of?
You may be a member of multiple roommate groups, but only one group can be assigned to housing.
If any individual in a group leaves a group in eRezLife after occupying a room/unit in Student Communities, the entire group will lose that assignment, so choose carefully before finalizing your selection.
What happens if I create a roommate group assignment and then change my mind?
If you decide to leave a group after your group occupies a room/unit in Student Communities, please contact the Housing Coordinator for assistance before making any changes.
Can I complete both the Off-Campus Request and the Housing Application?
Yes. If you are unsure about moving off campus, please complete the Housing Application to stay eligible for the housing selection process.
What if I don’t log in or complete my eRezLife profile?
Students who do not complete their eRezLife profile or housing application are not eligible to participate in housing selection. Complete all required steps to secure your housing placement.
How do I select a meal plan?
After you select your housing, eRezLife will prompt you to choose a meal plan.
Students living in Student Communities are not required to purchase a meal plan but may choose to do so. All students have the opportunity to purchase flex dollars.
What if I have allergies or special dietary restrictions and need a special meal plan?
You will need to complete a Special Meal Plan Request in the eRezLife portal. After completing this form, the Cashiers’ Office, Disability Services, and Pioneer College Caterers will review this request and follow up with the student who made the request.
How often do I need to complete a housing application?
You must complete a housing application for each fall semester. If you are not living on campus in the fall, you must submit an application for the spring semester. All fall housing assignments automatically carry over to spring.
