"Any room transfer requests that are received after the initial room transfer period (during the 3rd week of the semester) will be charged a $30.00 administrative fee"
Re-Assignments
How or when can I request a room change?
A room change date is established at the start of each semester following the close
of registration (the first two weeks of each semester). During this time period residents
may request a room change at no financial penalty. If approved, the move must take
place during the third week of the semester and complete within 48 hours of approval.
Residents must understand this is only a request and will be honored at the discretion
of the housing department staff and the availability of spaces.
Any room transfer requests that are received after the initial room transfer period
(during the 3rd week of the semester) will be charged a $30.00 administrative fee.
Residents who do not follow these procedures may have their requests for a room transfer
denied. Residents who transfer rooms without the written approval of the Office of
Housing and Residence Life will be required to move back to their original place and
may receive a $75.00 fine in addition to the administrative charge and/or disciplinary
action will occur. End-of-the-semester room transfers must be completed BEFORE the
students leave for the semester break. If this is not done, the request for a room
transfer will be denied. Residents may also be reassigned as a result of a judicial
sanction.
An assignment guarantees space, not specific rooms within the residence hall. University Housing reserves the right to re-assign residents to other spaces, rooms, or halls in the best interest of individuals or groups of students, or when it is determined that a student is not actually residing in his/her assigned space. Private rooms, selected roommates, and particular requests are accommodated as much as possible in keeping with the above statements.
