 Suite Residents: Be Prepared for Winter Bathroom Inspections

Changing Rooms for Spring Semester

If you would like to move to a different room for spring semester, submit your request to the front desk of your community by noon Friday, December 2. Please note that options are limited.  If you are changing rooms for spring semester, you must move to your spring room before Winter Break begins.  Room change opportunities resume Monday, January 23.

Getting a New Roommate

If you are currently living alone in a room for two residents (or there is a vacant space in your triple room), or if your current roommate is not returning for Spring Semester, you will be assigned a new roommate.  So, before you leave for break, make sure that a bed, a desk, a desk chair, and closet space are avilable for your new roommate and that your room is clean.  Failure to do so may resut in a minimum cleaning charge of $30.00 and a conduct hearing.  The Department of Residential Life will notify you by e-mail over the break when you are assigned a roomate.

Need to Change Your Meal Plan?

You can change your meal plan for Spring Semester to the Maverick Anytime, Maverick 160 or Maverick 14 meal plan.  Please come to the Residential Life office early to complete a Meal Plan Change form or make your request online.
