At the end of the fall semester your room will automatically be reserved for the spring semester, however during Spring Semester you will need to call Housing Service s Voice Response System to reserve your room again for the following year. If you do not choose to reserve your room you will need to complete a Housing Preference Form either on the Web or at HAO to request a new building or area. To request a change within your hall you must fill out the blue Room Change Request Form. While Housing Preference Forms are processed through a straight-forward lottery system to ensure fairness to everyone, Room Change Request Forms are processed based on seniority points. Students with more that 54 credits planning to move off campus must inform housing.
Housing hopes that no one has to pay the cancellation fee.
If you cancel your room during the allotted free period, you will not be assessed the cancellation fee. Residents who wish to change rooms after Fall Semester and do not fully vacate their space, fill out their checkout inventory, or return their key will not participate in the housing lottery process and will be reassigned to their Fall space. Residents who request a room change can still be placed back in their Fall assignment. The housing lottery is dependent on available space in the Residence Halls during Wintersession. Housing reminds you to pay attention to notices and if necessary cancel your room assignment during the grace period.
