Room Change Process
The Office of Residential Life & Campus Living coordinates the room change process for all residential students. Students experiencing problems must contact their Community Assistants for assistance with mediation prior to requesting a room change. No room change may occur unless it is authorized by the Office of Residential Life.
Roommate Conflict
- It is important that the residents first try to work out their differences and mediate the issues rather than immediately requesting a room change.
- Our staff will address conflicts as soon as they bring an issue to our attention. Students are responsible for any price differences should they move to a different type of room.
- Step 1: If a student is having a conflict with their roommate, they should first speak with a CA about their concerns. The CA will work with the student to either mediate the conflict between them and their roommate, or provide them with advice on how to mediate the issue themselves. The choice is up to the student, whether they would like the CA to mediate the conflict. The CA will review the Shared Living Agreement that is on file.
- Step 2: If, after a meditation with a CA, a student is still having a conflict, they will meet with the Area Coordinator to further evaluate the situation. The Area Coordinator will determine whether this situation requires advanced mediation or a room change.
- Step 3: After mediations have taken place with the CA and the Area Coordinator, if there is still a conflict occurring, possible room change options will be reviewed with the student. The Area Coordinator will provide the student with possible options.
Vacancies or Room Swaps
- If a student has a vacancy in their apartment, the Office of Residential Life & Campus Living can fill that vacancy at any time.
- A student can “pull-in” another student into a vacancy, and will need to notify their Area Coordinator before anyone is permitted to move.
- If students would like to “swap rooms”, all students will need to email the Area Coordinator their approval of the room swap before any changes or moves can be made.
- The Area Coordinator has final approval of any moves or room/apartment changes.
