Room Change Requests & Consolidation

ROOM CHANGE REQUESTS ARE REVIEWED BASED ON URGENCY, AVAILABILITY, AND NEED. SUBMITTING A REQUEST DOES NOT GUARANTEE APPROVAL.

Room Change Request Process

You may request a room change by completing the online room change request form HERE. 

  • We cannot guarantee that all room change requests will be granted. 
  • Room changes are completely dependent upon space, availability, and nature of request.
  • You may request to move to another room, another hall, or with a specific roommate.
  • Room change approvals occur over the course over several weeks. Contacting HRL will not expedite your move.
  • Residents are not allowed to move without the written approval of HRL.
  • Please note that if you move to a room that you are not assigned to, there is a $150 unauthorized change fee and you will be required to return to your original assignment within 24 hours. 

IMPORTANT: The Residence Hall Contract states that any student living in a DOUBLE OCCUPANCY ROOM must either a) identify or accept a roommate OR b) declare and assume financial responsibility for a single / double-as-a-single room. If you do not have a roommate now or find yourself without a roommate during the room change/consolidation time period, you MUST complete a room change form and indicate your preference. Please see your RA or email Housing & Residence Life for assistance.  

Consolidation Process

  • Any resident that has not received a roommate by the Friday after classes begin will have 3 options:
    • Purchase the vacant space in their room as a private and pay applicable charges 
    • Voluntarily identify another resident that is currently without a roommate (listing will be provided)
      • The residents can either mutually agree on which resident will relocate OR
      • The Occupancy Coordinator will determine which resident will relocate based on application date
    • Be assigned a roommate at random
      • The residents can either mutually agree on which resident will relocate OR
      • The Occupancy Coordinator will determine which resident will relocate based on academic classification and application date
  • Any resident without a roommate 14 days after classes begin will automatically be assigned a roommate.
