Dear Resident,

We understand that not all students may be placed in their desired residence hall or room. In response, we will be offering an online room change on Wednesday, February 4th, between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm for students who are interested in changing rooms or residence halls.

Students who would like to participate in this online room change process must complete the Room Change Request Form in their MyHousing. This form is live under the Applications tab and closes at 9:00 am on Wednesday, February 4th. Students who do not complete this form by 9:00 am on Wednesday, February 4th, will not be able to participate in the room change process.

Important:

  • Please be aware that space in Schwartz, Brownell, and the West Campus Suites are extremely limited, and these spaces may not be available for selection.
  • NEW – We will offer single-bedroom options for this room change. Please know that single bedrooms are VERY limited and will be first-come-first-serve in the process.
  • This room change process is designed for individuals to select a different space on campus and not for matched roommates to move together. Roommate matching is not available for any room change process.
  • Please be aware that we cannot guarantee preferred roommate(s) or residence halls during the room change process.

To opt into the process and learn more, please review the Room Change Request Form in your MyHousing.
