Your room assignment is based on certain preferences you stated on your housing application. Other items that will be considered are bedtime, amount of quiet needed, study habits in room, neatness, room temperature, and music preference. While roommate requests are given highest priority, rooms are assigned randomly. He or she will help you draw up a roommate contract and assist you in working through the tough times. If all else fails, your residence director and resident assistant will help you find the best possible living arrangement.
Consolidation begins the day after Room Change Day.
Sometimes students find themselves looking for a new roommate because their roommate was a no-show or moved out during Room Change Day. If this happens to you, you will be given a list of other students without roommates and an opportunity to meet with them. You can choose to move to a new room, have someone move into your room, or declare a private room, if space is available. To declare a private room, you must sign a private room agreement. After seven days, students who have not found a roommate or declared a private room will be consolidated based upon priority numbers, with the highest priority belonging to the student with the lowest number.
