Room change process
Finding the right room
Room changes and/or Even Room Swaps are not permitted for the first/last week(s) of the fall and spring semesters. Fall 2020 Room Freeze will be between August 20 — September 4 and November 10 — December 15. During this Room Freeze time, the Central Office of the Department of Residence Life conducts an inventory of rooms in order to confirm that students have returned and to account for available vacancies.
There are a variety of room change options available to students throughout the year, and the process for requesting a change may differ depending on occupancy levels. At times of high occupancy, room change opportunities may be limited as we may not have spaces available to offer.
Please be aware that by submitting a room change request, you agree to the terms outlined in the approval letter. If you fail to meet these requirements, you may be charged $150.00 if you do not complete your move.
