Room Assignment Policies & Procedures

All preferences submitted on the residence hall application, including requests for specific halls/rooms, single rooms, or learning/themed/residential communities, are subject to availability and Housing & Dining Policies. 

University Housing may need to: 

  • Assign students to any hall (East or City Campus), even if not requested by the student. 
  • Alter room/unit and hall assignments when deemed necessary. This includes the consolidation of those students residing in a room with vacancies. (See section on “Consolidation Assignment Policy”). 
  • Assess applicable rate/fees associated with the room in which the student is residing. 
  • Convert single rooms to double room assignments.
  • House three students in large end rooms not designated or furnished for permanent triple occupancy and/or assign to converted lounges. Students designated as a temporary assignee will be required to move as permanent space becomes available. Students who are involuntarily residing in such temporary spaces will be eligible for a reduction in their housing rate until offered a permanent space. Any expense incurred by the student moving from a temporary space to a permanent space will be borne by the student. Students who are going to be assigned to a temporary arrangement will be notified before arriving on campus.
  • Cancel a student’s contract if the student does not adhere to University Housing policies. 

By Federal law and University policy, room assignments and room changes cannot be made based on race, color, religion, disability, national or ethnic origin, gender identity or sexual orientation.
