Room Changes

During the Year

Residents are allowed to change rooms during the academic year as long as the request is official and approved. The first opportunity to switch rooms will be shortly after school starts. Room changes are performed weekly upon the submission of an online request. Priority is based on availability and needs of the students. For safety and security reasons, students must stay in their assigned room until they have been approved to move.

What's Available

Vacant rooms are limited at this time so we may not be able to honor your request immediately.  Room changes will be processed on a case by case basis and due to limited availability of rooms, we will consult with the RLCs to determine which situations necessitate changing rooms. Vacancies will change throughout the course of the semester.

Weekly Room Changes for Fall Begin September 3

  • Submit online request form to Housing Services. You will need to use your Seawolf username and password to access the form.
  • Housing Services will either contact you directly or forward the request to Residential Life.
  • In some instances, room changes for lifestyle differences or roommate conflicts may require intervention from Residential Life staff with potential agreements being established.
  • If the room change is approved then the resident will be given a few choices and asked to check out the rooms.
  • The resident will meet roommates and notify the Housing Office of the desired room no later than Thursday of that week.
  • The resident will come in Friday after 1:00 p.m. to have their SSU Seawolf ID encoded with the new room so they can move over the weekend. The resident will be issued a temporary card for the old room which must be returned to Housing the following Monday.
  • Moving belongings to the new room prior to a scheduled date may jeopardize your eligibility to live on-campus in the future and may put your personal belongings at risk of being donated to a local charity.
