The room change process will begin on Monday, September 10, 2007. Room changes will not be granted prior to this time. The following procedures govern room changes:

Obtain a Room Change Request form from http://housing.gmu.edu or OHRL.

1. Residents complete the Room Change Request form and return it to their Resident Director. When a space is found that meets the residents’ preferences, they will be reassigned. Please Note: due to the high demand for housing, Room Change Requests are not guaranteed.
2. After the room change is approved, residents will be notified. Please note: residents will not be called prior to reassignment.
3. After notification, residents will receive a specified deadline to complete their move.
4. If residents have not moved by the specified deadline and/or their old key is not returned the following will occur:
   • The reassignment will be revoked.
   • The lock on the residents’ previous assignment will be changed and the charge will be applied to their student account.
   • Residents will be assessed a financial penalty.
5. Once a room change has been approved and processed, residents are no longer a resident of their old assignment.
6. Residents must adhere to the proper check in/check out procedures as outlined in the Guide to Pride.
   

Residents may cancel their Room Change Request only in writing and only prior to reassignment. After the resident has been reassigned, they must accept the new assignment.
