Room Change Process
The application will show options for three types of room changes:
- Room Swap: Two students mutually request to swap rooms (both involved students must complete an application)
- Room with a Friend: A student requests to move into a vacancy within a friend’s room
- Room Roulette: A student requests to move into any available vacancy (“vacancy” means an empty bed; likely, another student will already be living in the room)
For all types of room changes, you must be eligible to live in your new room (i.e., first-year students cannot live in the Upperclass Area and vice versa, etc.).
Please note that prior to receiving a new room offer, you will be asked to meet with a member of the Residence Life staff. This meeting is a required part of the Room Change Process.
If you accept a new room offer, then you will receive another email with instructions for transitioning into your new room. You (and your items) must remain in your original housing assignment until you receive appropriate instructions. Moving your items or switching room keys prior to receiving instructions will jeopardize your eligibility to participate in Room Change Period.
Requests for room changes will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis during University hours (8:45 a.m.-4:45 p.m.) Monday through Friday. For more information, view the Room Change Policy.
Note the following billing and dining effects:
- You will be responsible for all balances incurred due to room changes. Charges will be applied directly to your billing account.
- All non-equal room changes may result in an increase or decrease in your housing charges (i.e., moving from a triple to a double or vice versa, etc.).
- If changing assignments from Ora Manor or Turrell Manor to an on-campus hall, you are required to purchase a meal plan.
- You will be responsible for any damages incurred in your original housing assignments.
