Rationale:

All students wishing to request a change to their room assignment must complete the appropriate paperwork at the Office of Residential Life (ORL).  Room Change Request Forms are available the first day of classes each semester.  There is a moratorium on room changes for the first two weeks and last four weeks of each semester.  This time period allows the Office of Residential Life prioritize the requests received and confirm where vacancies exist.

Generally, requests will be processed in order of priority and when they are received.  Request will be granted if a room change is deemed necessary and space is available.  Students have to option to accept or decline offers for assignment changes.

1. Students must complete a Room Change Request Form available at the Office of Residential Life.

2. The students Area Coordinator (AC) will email hir to set-up an appointment to discuss hir reasons for requesting a room change.

3.  If the student and hir AC decide to proceed with a room change, the AC will meet with the Assignments Coordinator to discuss available spaces.

4.  After meeting with the Assignments Coordinator the AC will email the student with a new housing assignment offer.  The student has two business days after receiving the ACs offer to accept or decline the new housing assignment.  If the student does not respond within the allotted time, the room change request will be withdrawn and the space may be offered to another student. 

5.  The student has two days to complete hir move once ze has picked up the keys to hir new housing assignment from the ORL.  Keys to hir former residence MUST be returned to the ORL within this 48 hour period and card access to student's old residence will be deactivated at this time.  Failure to return old room keys within 48 hours may result in a lock change for which the student will be held financially responsible.

6. Room change requests maybe dismissed if the student neglects to respond to the professional staff.

7. Please note that priority will be given to students in the following situations:
