Looking for a Room Change?
The Office of Residence Life will consider a room change request when there is an extenuating circumstance that will negatively impact the well-being and success of a resident due to the environment, they live in. In that case, a resident must meet the criteria herein outlined, provide the necessary documentation, and complete a room change form.
Emergency situations are an exception, and you should find your resident adviser or go to your community desk assistant in emergency circumstances.
If you are experiencing a roommate conflict, please schedule a time to discuss the issue with your Resident Adviser first. Your Residence Hall Director may request a meeting as well as a next step.
