Room Consolidation Information

The Office of College Housing will be conducting room consolidations between September 8 and September 12. When vacancies occur in any residence hall in a double room creating a 'single,' the college will request the remaining student to take a new roommate or move to another room. Please note, if you have bought out your double room as a single you will not be requested to take a roommate or move to another room. The Residence Director or Area Coordinator that directly oversees the residence hall will be hosting consolidation mixers on either September 8 or September 9 in an effort to give students the opportunity to select their new roommate. Please look for specific information on consolidation mixers in your residence hall.

All consolidation moves must be completed by 8 pm on September 12.
