Assignments, Room Changes, & Apartment Maintenance

Part of the room change request process may include a roommate mediation a Residence Life staff member.
All room changes must be approved by the office. Any resident who changes rooms without the prior approval of the office will be in violation of the terms and conditions of the contract and may be assessed a charge for an improper room change.
