You need your university ID and password to view your information. Once you log into the system, you will see only those menu options that are appropriate for your profile. For more information about how to login, see AccessPlus Frequently Asked Questions.
Many students choose to share their AccessPlus username and password with their parents. While we understand why students do this, we strongly encourage all students to accept the responsibility of conducting their AccessPlus business personally, rather than having their parents do it for them.

- Each person will get their personal code, which is a 5 digit number, and the person's last name. You can get this code online on AccessPlus, choose "Show me my 200_-200_ personal code for creating roommate groups".
- Give your personal code to the person who has the highest priority for the area in which you would like to live.
- One person from each group will create a roommate group. Online in AccessPlus, select "Set up a roommate group for 200_-200_ space selection." Enter personal codes and last names to form your group.
- Once the roommate group is created, only one person from each group will need to select the room/apartment to make that reservation.
- To get your group into your current room/apartment only one person, with the highest priority, needs to select "Move my roommate group into my 200_-200_ room/apartment."
- Remember that you will need to select a space. When you are returned to your room/apartment your roommate group will not automatically be pulled in with you.
- Roommate groups and personal codes are only good for one move. If your group selects a space and then wishes to select a different space, each person will need to get a new personal code and create a new roommate group.
