F.A.Q.

On the date that semester bills are released, new students can log into your MyHousing Account to see your room assignment and roommates.

Room changes are not permitted during the first week of classes each semester. This "freeze" period allows time to locate existing vacancies (though occupancy checks) and provides for a period whereby the residential population may stabilize. Room changes may be process on an "as-needed" basis throughout the semester (depending on availability of space). Anyone who wishes to make a room change must make an appointment to meet with their hall's Graduate Assistant or Residential Area Director.

Choices cannot be guaranteed due to space limitations.
