Room Change Process

You are here

If you are interested in a room change, you should sign up by completing the Room Change Waiting List in your My Housing Portal under the Applications section.

Timeline

The room change process is open from the 6th day of classes through November 22nd. It reopens on the 6th day of classes in the spring semester and remains open until mid April. More Information.

Application Info

Once you complete the Room Change Waiting List, you will be eligible to receive a room change offer as early as the Monday following your application. Residence Life staff will reach out to you regarding your waiting list application if follow-up is required in order for your application to be processed. You will only receive a room change offer if your application matches with vacant spaces. You should be as open and flexible as possible when completing your application in order to increase your match chances. You will remain on the waiting list for a room change until you remove yourself, or the end of April.

Room Change Offers

If you receive a housing offer, you will also receive the information of current student(s) in that space. Students are responsible for coordinating with each other to view the space. All students living in spaces where a vacancy exists are notified of the vacancy and of the chance that the space could be utilized in the room change process. The current resident does not have the ability to deny a room change and should not present the vacancy as unavailable. In the unfortunate situation of this happening, please notify Housing Services or Residence Life immediately.

If a room change is offered and accepted during the semester, keys will be prepared and ready for pick up from Housing Services on the upcoming Friday morning. All room changes will take place Fri-Sat-Sun with keys needing to be returned by 12 noon on Monday. You will be given dual card access to both building locations to complete your room change.

Room changes offered in between Fall and Spring semesters will be coordinated on an independent basis to work with the person changing rooms and meet their timeline needs.

Cost

You will be responsible for any increase or credited for any decrease in room or meal plan cost resulting from a room change. Room charge adjustments are processed on a daily rate basis as of the date the room change begins.
