ROOM CHANGES FOR SPRING 2008 (December 5 & 6, 2007)

Room changes for the Spring 2008 semester are being held on Wednesday, December 5 and Thursday December 6 from 7:00 AM – 9 AM. The requested changes will be processed by Residence Coordinators and Graduate Assistants in their offices during the days and times listed below. Please review all of the following information to ensure that you know what to do if you plan on participating.

Room changes require the written approval of a Residence Coordinator or Graduate Assistant in the desired building or area. Requests will be honored on a First Come, First Served Basis. If you cannot be present during the following times, a friend can process your room change for you by taking your valid picture ID and completing the room change form in the desired new building/area.

Room Change Process

1. Consult the vacancy list to see what rooms are available for spring. Vacancy lists will be posted in each area by 7:00 PM on Monday, December 3. An updated vacancy list will be posted on Wednesday, December 5 by 7:00 PM.

Residents Unable To Return To Rooms Set For Displacement Fall 2008
Some resident rooms are designated for special program use and will result in some existing residents not being eligible to return to the space in Fall 2008. Some residents may want to take advantage of the December room change opportunity to move out of spaces that they will be ineligible to return to for Fall 2008. Completing a room change from a space that will require displacement of residents to a place that does not, will enable the resident to have the option of claiming priority (or squatting) on a room when reapplying for Fall 2008 campus housing. Residents in the following areas will not be able to return to their spaces for Fall 2008 if they are ineligible for the sponsoring program:

• residents of Cedar (reserved for new freshmen)
• residents of Lynch Hall (reserved for learning communities)
• residents of Hawthorn Hall (reserved for learning communities)
• residents of Moore Hall (reserved for new freshmen)
• residents of Sanford Hall (reserved for new freshmen)
• residents of wheelchair-accessible units
• ineligible residents living in the honors apartments/suites in Witherspoon Hall and Laurel Hall (third floor Witherspoon, suites 431& 435 Laurel)
• ineligible residents living in the international house apartments/suites in Witherspoon Hall (second floor Witherspoon)
• undergraduate/traditional (under age 24) residents living in graduate/nontraditional apartments
• Resident Advisors and students living in rooms to be reserved for RAs next year

SMOKING POLICY CHANGE (Fall 2008)
In order to comply with recently passed state mandates, smoking will no longer be permitted in any residence hall.
