Fall 2023 Room Change
The fall room change period begins September 6, 2023, at 12:00 PM and runs until November 1, at 5:00 PM. All room change requests must be submitted through the student’s MyHousing portal.
On your MyHousing Portal, you may find the Room Change Request form under the “Applications & Appeals” menu on the left-hand side. Students should indicate if they have any building, room, or roommate/suitemate preference in the form.
A Room Change is when a student is seeking relocation to an existing vacancy while a Room Swap is two students mutually agreeing to swap their space with each other.
After reviewing the room change request, a member of the Residence Life or Housing Operations Staff will reach out to the student and will offer information on current availability, a meeting to discuss available rooming options or a meeting to discuss alternatives.
Students may be given up to two room options based on their eligibility and availability. We encourage students to reach out to the current residents to introduce themselves and potentially set up a time to meet.
Students will have 48 hours to decide if they accept or decline the room change offer. Following the 48-hour period, the room change offer will expire.
Once a student accepts a room change offer, they will receive instructions to begin relocation. Students are responsible for:
- Picking up their new room key at either the Raoul or Clairmont Service Center
- Relocating their belongings
- Returning their old key to either the Raoul or Clairmont Service Center
Students must complete the room change process within 24 hours of picking up the new key. Any key not returned after relocating is considered lost and students will be responsible for the lock change cost.
Students should also review the Housing Rates associated with each space. Students are responsible for the difference in rate.
Once a student declines a room change offer, either by responding to the initial offer or through expiration, the building supervisor may continue to assist the student with their residential experience. Subsequent room change offers after the student declines the initial room offer are at the discretion of the building supervisor.
