December Room Change Requests (due 12/5)

December Room Change request forms (Upperclass students only) are now available to download.  Completed forms are due to the Residential Life & Housing office (110 Sulzberger) no later than 4pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012.

If a vacancy opens up in your room / suite for the Spring, you may encourage a friend to request the space through a December Room Change Request form or by specifying your room / suite on their housing application (i.e. students returning from abroad, readmitted to the College, commuters wanting to move on-campus).  You will need to submit a Roommate / Suitemate Request Form, mutually requesting your friend, no later than 4pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012.

Note:  due to the number of people we need to assign to housing for the Spring, it is not possible to request to "buy out" a double as a single.  If your current roommate is leaving housing or receives a room change, you will more than likely receive a new roommate as a result of the December Room Change Request process or through Spring room assignments.

70+ visiting international students are coming to Barnard this Spring from Australia, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Russia, Brazil, Colombia, China, South Korea, Ghana, and South Africa. If you have a space opening up in your room / suite and would like to request an international student be assigned, please email housing@barnard.edu.

December Room Change Request Process

December Room Change request forms are available to download now from http://barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/december.html. Forms are due to the Res Life Office no later than 1pm on Wed, Dec 8.

If a vacancy opens up in your double or triple, you may submit a request to "Buy-Out" that space (and not get a new roommate). The Buy-Out Request form may be downloaded from http://barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/december.html and is due to the Res Life Office no later than 1pm on Wed, Dec 8. Otherwise, the vacancy will likely be filled through a room change or by a new spring student.

Please note that a request to buy-out a room is *NOT* a guarantee. Due to the large number of new students to assign for the Spring semester, students in buildings closer to the center of campus (600s, ELL, SUT) will be *far less likely* to get a buy-out than in buildings further from the center of campus (110th St, CG). Students whose top priority is to be in a room without a roommate are encouraged to additionally request a room change to a single room.

If a vacancy opens up in your room/suite, you may encourage a friend to request the space through a Room Change Request or by specifying your room/suite on their housing application (i.e. students returning from abroad, readmitted, etc). You will need to submit a Roommate/Suitemate Request Form (http://barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/Roommate_Suitemate_Request_Form.pdf) mutually requesting your friend, no later than 1pm on Wed, Dec 8.

60+ visiting international students will be coming this Spring from Australia, Denmark, Italy, China, South Korea, Singapore, Ghana, and South Africa. If you have a space opening up in your room/suite and would like to request one of these students, please email housing@barnard.edu.

Room Change Forms available (Due Thur, 9/25)

Room Change Request forms are now available (PDF download) on the Residential Life & Housing website (barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/). This will be your one chance to apply for a room change prior to the Spring Room Change Request process in December.

If you'd like to apply for a room change, please submit the request form to the RL&H Office (110 Sulzberger) no later than 12noon on Thursday, 9/25.

WHAT IF THERE IS A VACANCY IN MY ROOM/SUITE OR MY ROOMMATE/SUITEMATE GETS A ROOM CHANGE?
You will more than likely be assigned a new roommate/suitemate. If you know someone specific who is interested in moving into that vacant space and submits a Room Change Request form requesting so, you should submit a Roommate/Suitemate Request form (available at
barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/) to the RL&H Office by 12noon on Thursday, 9/25. The names and signatures of all roommates and/or suitemates must be on the form. No late forms will be accepted. Also, please note that not all applicants will receive a room change (so your roommate/suitemate may not get a room change).

For more information and a list of important dates related to the Room Change process, please visit barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/.
