Room Transfers for Current Residents
Students may begin signing up online for hall or room transfers after 5 PM on Thursday, August 20, 2009. You must have checked into your assigned hall/room before you can sign up for a transfer. Transfers won't begin until later in September or after all students in temporary housing are assigned to permanent spaces, whichever is later.
In order to transfer, you will need to put yourself on a transfer list. You will be able to select all the halls to which you wish to transfer. As space opens up, you will be contacted via email with an offer to move. If you change your mind, you may remove yourself from any or all transfer list(s) at any time.
Once you put yourself on the transfer list, your position on the list will be displayed. You can check back periodically to view your current status.
A waitlist will be maintained by gender for each hall. Since offers are made based on the individual hall waitlists, there is no guarantee that you will be offered a space in your first choice hall before any others that you requested. If space becomes available for you in one of your requested halls, you will receive only one offer. Upon making you an offer to transfer, you will be removed from all other transfer lists.
Given this, we encourage you to think about what halls you are choosing and why, as you complete your transfer request.
When Residence Life is ready to offer you a transfer, an email will be sent to your University email account. The email will tell you the hall to which you are being offered a transfer, but not the specific room number. You will then need to accept or decline the offer by the deadline listed in the email.
If we do not hear from you by the deadline, we will assume you have declined the offer. Upon declining an offer, you will be removed from all remaining halls' transfer lists for which you signed up.
When you accept an offer you will be assigned to a room in the hall and will receive a "move authorization" email giving you specific room information and the timeline to check in to your new assignment and check out of the previous assignment.
Failure to properly check out of your previous assignment will result in an improper checkout fee of $100 on your Bursar's account, and could result in rent charges for both rooms.
