Change Your Room or Apartment

If you are looking to change your assignment prior to your arrival on campus, you may do so during the Open Room Change Period by logging in to the Housing Portal. The Open Room Change Period will take place in late July. Students will be notified by email when the process becomes available. 

Assignment changes are accommodated on space availability and eligibility requirements. Assignment changes are final; it is not possible to be returned to your original assignment after a change has been made. 

If you would like to change your housing assignment, you must meet with the hall/complex director from your residence hall or apartment to talk about why you want to switch rooms. Efforts to resolve the concern, such as roommate mediation, will be explored before a decision is made on a move. If your request is approved, your hall/complex director will provide additional instructions, including a timeline for the move.

Please note that room changes will only be granted:

• After all housing vacancies are verified at the start of the semester
  
• If space allows

This process traditionally takes about a week, but may take more time, especially at the beginning of fall semester. Your residence hall/ complex director can offer more information on space availability, and may be able to expedite a room change if there are extenuating circumstances. 

If you switch rooms without following these procedures you will be asked to move back into your assigned room and/or charged with a violation.

A mutually agreed-upon room switch between students will be permitted at the discretion of the Campus Living staff. Students requesting a mutual switch are required to meet with the hall/complex director.
