This provides students the option to move to any open bed on campus. Please follow the steps below if you are interested in changing your room. We will be allowing room buyouts in all residence halls with the exception of Main Gate A and Main Gate B.

Internal Building Move Requests (I want to move somewhere else in my building/ buyout my room or space in the building) - Wednesday, January 22nd- Friday, January 24th

During Open Room Changes, RDs will also be consolidating rooms and/or suites depending on the vacancies that are present.
