Welcome to the residential community at West Liberty University! We now have room assignment and roommate information available for our students. Please review the information below to learn how to find that information, and what to do next. If you have any questions, email residencelife@westliberty.edu or call (304)336-8345. You can also request a change of room assignment through our online request form.
Q: Where do I find my room assignment and roommate information?
A: You can now access your room assignment information through your Housing Portal in your Single Sign On for WLU. The following is a list of steps to access your room information:
- Go to westliberty.edu, select the “Go WLU” icon near the top right corner.
- Select “WLU – Single Sign-On”
- To Login: Username is the first part of your email address before the “@westliberty.edu”. Your password is your 8-digit birthdate. You will change this password after your first log in.
- A list of icons will appear; look for “Housing Student Self Service”. It will have a blue and orange triangle next to it.
- This will bring you to your Housing Portal home page.
Q: Why do I not have an assignment yet?
A: We will process assignments for a student after we receive both a deposit and an application. If you think you have paid the deposit and completed an application, but have not received an assignment, please contact our office at residencelife@westliberty.edu or (304)336-8345.
Q: Why was I not assigned to my first preference residence hall?
A: If you were not assigned to your first preference residence hall, you can be placed on a waiting list if a room becomes available. Please contact the Office of Housing & Residence Life at residencelife@westliberty.edu or (304)336-8345.
Q: Why is there not an assigned roommate listed yet?
A: If you have not requested a specific roommate, we are still looking for a match for you, and will likely assign you a roommate soon. Please check back to your account for updates. If you have requested a roommate, and still do not have roommate information listed, we may still be waiting for an application and/or deposit from your selected roommate.
Q: What if I do not think my roommate and I are a good match?
A: We are always willing to work with students to find the right living arrangement. If you wish to change your roommate for any reason, at any time, please contact the Office of Housing & Residence Life at (304)336-8345 or residencelife@westliberty.edu and we will help you find a better living arrangement.
Q: When can I move in to my residence halls?
A: All new students can move in on Friday, August 23rd between 10am and 4pm. You will go directly to your residence hall and RAs will be there to check you in.
Q: What can/should I bring to my residence hall?
A: We offer The Packing List, a suggested checklist of items to bring to the residence halls. This list also includes a few items that are not permitted in the residence halls: weapons, drugs, alcohol, and items with open heating elements for example.
Q: How do I change my meal plan?
A: You can change your meal plan each semester. The deadline is the second Friday of each new semester. If you wish to change, you may do so through the My Housing portal by selecting the Meal Plan section and change option.
