Room Changes/Consolidations

Room assignments are made for the entire year. Room changes may be granted during the year but must be approved by the Resident Director and Director of Residence Life.

Consolidation: If a vacancy occurs after three (3) weeks into the semester, the remaining resident(s) can stay in the room without the private room charge, provided the room remains in ‘ready room’ status (see below). Up to the third week of the next (2nd) semester the residents have four options: 1) elect to retain the room as a private, IF SPACE PERMITS and IF RESIDENCE LIFE PERMITS, by paying the private room fee (additional $800/semester); 2) consolidate by moving or having someone who also needs a roommate move in, within two weeks, to fill the vacancy; 3) have the Director of Residence Life make a reassignment at his/her discretion; 4) Maintain a ‘ready room,’ defined as one dresser and closet are always open and available for a new student, desk drawers should be cleared out, the beds separated and assembled, but could have sheets or blanket on that can be easily removed.

For assistance in locating a roommate, contact the Director of Residence Life. If, after attempting the first two options, the Director makes a reassignment and the student refuses to fill a vacancy, the refusing student will be charged the private room fee.
