Questions About Room Changes

What if I am unhappy with my room assignment?

We understand that everyone may not always satisfied with their room assignment, but we have staff in place to help address any concerns you may have. Our staff is trained to help provide resources and tools to work through conflict and also ways to help mediate any roommate disagreements. If there any further support is needed, staff will work with students on possible options.

How can I make a room change?

Ohio University offers wonderful opportunities to experience diversity in cultures, lifestyles, and backgrounds. Because of this, we expect students to welcome, respect, and be sensitive to differences including getting to know their roommate before exploring a possible room change. 

Our Room Change Process Request form will open the Thursday before fall move-in weekend.  Staff will start monitoring all requests during the first week of classes.  Students are able to submit a room change request up until the first week of November for the fall semester. Spring semester room change requests will open the first week of classes and be temporarily paused for Spring Break.

Are there additional charges if I change rooms?

Room rates are dependent upon the type of room the student occupies. If a student moves to a more expensive/less expensive room, the appropriate charges/credits will be applied to the student account.
