You must get a letter from a Doctor specifying what special arrangements need to be made. In order to be placed with the person you specify, you must make sure that person has also specified you. If you are positive that both housing applications had the correct name specified and you still didn't get your desired roommate, it could be because both contracts were not received within the same time period. Depending on when both student contracts are received, students are sometimes assigned separately. A room change is when a student requests to move into an empty space in a room or apartment.
Some semesters there are no vacancies, therefore only room swaps occur.
A room swap is when 2 students want to switch rooms with each other. It is the student's responsibility to find another student interested in switching rooms. Students will be notified of the date through phone mail, flyers and by Resident Assistants. Pre-Spring Room Change takes place during the second week of December. If approved to move, students must vacate their fall assignment and move home for the duration of the Christmas break.
