ROOM CHANGES AFTER CHECK IN EACH STUDENT SHALL BE ALLOWED ONE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A ROOM CHANGE PER SEMESTER. Roommate or room changes will take place after the first two weeks of a semester. Check for deadlines. To make a room change or request a new roommate, you must go to the Department of Residential Life. If there is a student living in the room where you would like to move, he / she must also go by the Department of Residential Life and request you as a new roommate. If space is available, double rooms may be assigned as single rooms in St. Joseph Hall. However, the university reserves the right to put someone in that space if all the double rooms have been filled and space is still needed. The resident student who is granted the single room has 24 hours to present to the Department of Residential Life a receipt of payment for the single room from the Business Office. If you feel you need a room change due to roommate problems, you need to discuss the situation with your Resident Assistant. They will work with you in an attempt to resolve the differences. A move will be considered only after you have made an honest attempt to resolve personal difficulties.
