Mid-Year Housing Questions - Current Students

1.  How do I cancel my housing contract for Spring 2010?

Please view this page for information on cancelling your Spring 2010 housing.

2.  How do I change my room assignment for Spring 2010?
 
As students cancel and/or change their housing assignments for Spring Term, all vacancies will be posted on the “Spring Term Vacancies” display in the Housing and Residence Life Office.  To secure a vacancy between . . .
  • October 26 and December 4 - Get written consent from the remaining roommate(s) and bring it to the Office of Housing and Residence Life. 
  • between December 7 and December 11 - Roommate consent is NOT necessary.  Indicate to the Office of Housing and Residence Life which vacancy you choose from the “Spring Term Vacancies” display. 
NOTE:  First-year students ARE NOT permitted to move to upperclassmen facilities.  First-year students may only move within/between designated first-year buildings - Laurel, Hickory, Hemlock, Oak, Maple, and Buckhorn.                                                           
3.  How do I request a private room for the spring?
 
If interested in private accommodations for Spring Term, complete a Private Room Request and return it to Housing and Residence Life IMMEDIATELY.  Private room requests will be dated upon receipt.  In the event a private room becomes available, you will be contacted in the order requests are received.  FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.   

NOTE:  Any/all previous requests made during last year’s re-contracting process or throughout the current fall term will no longer be entertained at this time.  If interested in the prospect of a private room for the Spring Term, a Private Room Request must be completed and returned to Housing and Residence Life in order to receive consideration.
4.  What do I do if I want to move, but don't have a new room in mind?  What do I do if my roommate moves out?  How do I find a new roommate?
 
Looking for a specific type of accommodation and/or specific characteristics in a roommate?  Use the “Situation Wanted” board at Housing and Residence Life to advertise your specific needs for a housing assignment.  Students with vacancies in their rooms/apartments are also encouraged to utilize “Situation Wanted.”
