Room Assignments and Changes

Assigned Space 

Each student is assigned one desk, desk chair, bed, dresser or closet/wardrobe. Students living in apartments and suites with common areas may have additional furniture, depending upon the building. Residents must confine their personal belongings to their assigned space. Should a roommate move out, the remaining resident may not appropriate additional furniture or space not allocated to them as a new roommate may be assigned at any time. 

Community Spaces

Lounges, hallways, and other community spaces (i.e. multi-person restrooms, kitchens, etc.) in residential spaces are designated as common-use spaces. As such, they are open to all students assigned to that residential space. Lounges and other community spaces are not to be used as a supplemental housing space. Any damages in a lounge, hallway or other community space will result in charges allocated to the individual(s) responsible. If the individual(s) responsible for the damage cannot be identified, charges will be divided amongst the entire room, group, or building of students responsible for that space. If students are aware of damage that has been caused, they are encouraged to share that information with the Office of Residential Life.

Room Reassignments

Students may be assigned to a new room, either permanently or temporarily, in response to a bias-related incident, student conduct issue, safety or security concern, roommate conflict, facility or maintenance need, room consolidation efforts, Title IX compliance, or any other reason deemed appropriate by the Office of Residential Life. The Office of Residential Life reserves the right to assign a new student to any open vacancy. 

Room Changes 

Room changes, including moves made within suites and apartments, must be approved by the Office of Residential Life prior to moving any personal items or collecting/exchanging keys. 

A room freeze is in effect for the first and last 14 days of each semester. Room change requests will not be granted during this time.

Vacating a Space

Any student who receives notice of reassignment, has their housing contract terminated, or who has withdrawn from the College, must vacate their space within 48 hours of notice, unless instructed otherwise by the Office of Residential Life. 

Any of the belongings remaining on the premises after that time will be deemed abandoned; the student will be assessed an improper checkout fee of $150 and will be charged for any costs incurred in removing the remaining possessions.
