How Room Selection Works in UCCS Star Rez
Priority Dates and Assignment Order
Each class year has specific priority dates that determine when students can log into UCCS Star Rez to pick rooms. Earlier priority dates usually align with academic milestones such as completed housing applications and cleared financial holds.
Room Type Preferences and Limits
You can indicate preferences for suite-style, triple, or single rooms within set capacity limits. The system uses these inputs to match availability while respecting building and safety policies.
Matching with UCCS Star Rez Roommate Questionnaire
Lifestyle and Schedule Inputs
The roommate matching tool asks about sleep patterns, cleanliness habits, preferred study times, and social comfort levels. More detailed responses lead to pairings that reduce day-to-day friction.
Privacy and Switching Options
After room assignments publish, you can review roommate profiles and request a change if compatibility issues arise through official channels during the adjustment period.
Meal Plans and Dining Dollars in UCCS Star Rez
Plan Types and Eligibility
Choose from unlimited, commuter, and flex plans based on how often you eat on campus. Certain programs and off-campus housing situations may affect which plan categories you can select.
Adding Dining Dollars and Reloading
You can add funds to dining dollars through the same portal used for room selection. Set up balance alerts to avoid declined transactions at dining locations near campus.
Billing, Holds, and Important Deadlines
Financial Holds and Tuition Accounts
Active holds on your student account can block room selection and dining plan enrollment. Clear these through the bursar office before priority deadlines to keep your housing options open.
