Room Change
Information Regarding Room Changes
Once residence hall assignments are made, we will not be able to consider room changes until the beginning of Fall semester except in the case of room swap or contract reassignment. Below you will find more information regarding these processes. If you have additional questions, please contact the Housing and Residential Life Office at (810) 237-6571.
Room Swap
Two residents may agree to exchange room assignments at any time, provided the change is properly coordinated through the Hall Director. Residents cannot do a suite/room swap into a vacant space. The switch must be done with another resident who has a signed contract, and both residents must live in their respective new room. Residents must be fully eligible for the space they are switching into, and switches that result in a change of room type will be billed at the rate of the new room.
No one may pressure a resident to make a room swap, including offers of monetary compensation or other incentives or rewards. Housing and Residential Life will remove any mentions of such offers from the listings, and residents who make such offers may have their contract terminated. In addition, room swaps made to circumvent the waitlist process will be null and void.
Reassignment
A contract reassignment is the transfer of a residence hall contract from a student with a signed residence hall contract to an eligible student without a signed contract. It is the original contract holder’s responsibility to find a replacement. Contract reassignments for or during Fall Semester can only go to newly admitted students. For and during Winter Semester and Spring/Summer Semester, contracts can be reassigned to any enrolled student. Students receiving reassigned contracts must meet eligibility requirements for the specific space. The original contract holder must vacate the suite/room within a specified period of time. Reassignments are processed and approved through the Office of Housing and Residential Life. Reassignment of the contract does not release the original contract holder from liability for room and board payments.
