Room Transfer Process:
A student who believes he/she has a compelling reason or an extenuating circumstance for moving rooms must first contact their Resident Director (RD). Requesting a new room with any Residence Life Staff members does not guarantee a student will receive a new room. Before students enter the room transfer process, they should consider there may be other solution-oriented paths required by the Student Life Office to pursue to resolve their situation. It is the expectation of the University that a student engages and collaborates in the process as put forth by the Student Life Office. Room changes will only be set in motion once Residence Life has observed evidence of good-faith efforts to resolve any issue(s).
Steps for Room Transfer
Depending on the request for transferring rooms, you may be asked to follow our Roommate Mediation Steps:
A $75 room transfer administration fee will be assessed if your request is granted.
If students change rooms without following proper procedures, they may be required to return to their previous housing until the appropriate procedure is followed. An improper checkout fine may be assessed. Once approved, all room transfer requests will be coordinated by the Residence Life Office.
When there are one or more vacant spots in a room, suite, or apartment, the Residence Life Office may assign a new roommate to the open spot per the terms of the Housing Agreement Lease. Should the occupancy of the room, suite, or apartment be 50% or less capacity, the Residence Life Office reserves the right to consolidate spaces if necessary.
