Room Changes and Swaps

Important Information

A room change or swap into another vacant bedspace may not be possible. Campus occupancy is extremely high, which leaves very few vacancies for room changes. Many residents will need to consider room swaps with other eligible residents if they are looking to change their room.

  • The Continuing and New Transfer Undergraduate Student Room Swap process will be available starting at 10 AM on May 5, 2025 - July 10, 2025 at 4 PM through the Housing Portal. 
  • The Continuing and New Transfer Undergraduate Student Room Change process will be available starting at 10 AM on July 1 - July 10, 2025 at 4 PM through the Housing Portal.
  • There is a room change freeze in effect until typically the third week of the fall semester after no-shows and occupancy verification are complete.
  • Once new first-year students select a space, their room assignment is final. If they are experiencing issues with their new roommate prior to move-in, they are encouraged to reach out to their Area Office and Residence Hall Director for further assistance.
  • Graduate agreements may have an opportunity for limited need-based room changes and swaps for similar room types in summer. This will be dependent on space availability and what stage of new graduate housing application and selection we are in.
