Room Changes/Hall Changes

Assignment changes will be limited only to those deemed critical by Housing & Dining Services staff including but not limited to conduct/discipline, maintenance, and/or irreconcilable roommate differences after conflict resolution efforts have been attempted.

Single Rooms & Room Consolidation

The University and Housing & Dining Services are obligated by their bondholders to make maximum use of all space. When students are left without a roommate through no fault of their own (i.e. room changes, withdrawal of their roommate), they will have two options:

1) Sign a Double-as-Single Agreement

If students in double rooms find they are without a roommate and the available space is confirmed as vacant, a Double-as-Single offer will be sent via email. The offer will be sent only when occupancy demands allow for rooms to be under-occupied. The student has the option to accept or decline the offer.  If they accept the offer, the Agreement guarantees a single room for the remainder of the semester and/or academic year, by paying an additional fee (prorated, determined by the Assignments and Billing Office, by the day the roommate leaves).  Please note, all furniture for the vacant space must remain in the room.

2) The Room Consolidation Policy

Remain in the room at no additional charge under the condition that they may receive a roommate assignment or be reassigned to another room in the same hall (whenever necessary) to permit the maximum use of paid space. If assignment to another room is necessary, every effort is made to keep the student being moved in the same hall and on the same floor. The decision to allow students to keep the single room for spring semester will be determined by the need for spaces and will be announced as soon as possible. Students whose roommate leaves at the end of fall semester are not guaranteed a single room for spring semester. It is important that the room be prepared to receive a new roommate before the student leaves for winter break. Decisions regarding availability of the room as a single will not be announced until approximately two weeks after the beginning of spring semester. If space is available, a Double-As-Single Room offer will be emailed to the email address provided on the student’s application. If the Double-As-Single Room offer is not accepted, the student will be subject to the Room Consolidation Policy. Forced consolidation will not occur for summer housing unless the housing needs require such a move.

Temporary Moves

Students may be required to move to another hall/room in the case of disciplinary proceedings or emergency situations.

Temporary Spaces

If you are one of the last students assigned to a particular residence hall, there is a possibility that you may be placed in a temporary room when you first arrive. As spaces in permanent rooms become available, due to late cancellations and withdrawals, residents will be moved into a permanent space. If you are initially assigned to a temporary space within one of the residence halls, your cooperation and understanding during this opening period is appreciated.

Process

To begin a room change request, students must submit a Room Transfer Request via the CSU Housing Portal. Once submitted, the request will be reviewed by a Residential Coordinator. Students may receive outreach from a Residential Coordinator or Conflict Resolution Services to discuss next steps. If the request is related to a roommate conflict, participation in the conflict resolution process will be required before a room change will be considered.
