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.

For more information about the Room Change & Buy-Out Request process, please visit http://barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/.

Fall Room Change Request Process

If you would like to request a room change, please visit http://barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/ for information about the Fall Room Change Request process. Completed request forms (available to download online) are due to the Residential Life & Housing office (110 Sulzberger) no later than 4pm on Tuesday, September 14.

Students who submit a Room Change Request form are expected to inform their roommate(s)/suitemates(s) of their request, in order to give them an opportunity to either submit a Room Change form of their own or to recruit a new roommate/suitemate. Residential Life & Housing will not notify students if their roommate/suitemate submits a request form.

Please note that the spaces available for room changes are extremely limited. We cannot guarantee that students who apply will receive a room change through this process. Students who are not able to get a room change during the Fall Room Change process are encouraged to reapply during the December Room Change Process (due to more rooms being available for the Spring due to students leaving to study abroad).

Priority for room changes is both by class year and/or for students who received an assignment from the Wait List. Please note that "buying out your room" (paying the single room rate to keep a double to yourself) is NOT an option for the Fall semester.

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 would like to recruit a new roommate/suitemate, they should submit a Room Change Form requesting your room/suite and you should submit a Roommate/Suitemate Request form (available at http://barnard.edu/reslife/roomchanges/) to the RL&H Office no later than 4pm on Tuesday, September 14, mutually requesting them. 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 and create a vacancy).

If a space remains open in your room/suite after the Fall Room Change process is completed, you must continue to keep this space open and ready for occupancy at any time. Vacancies may be used later in the semester for emergency/temporary room changes.

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

If you'd like to recruit a friend to a vacancy in your suite/room, please submit a Roommate/Suitemate Request Form. That person will also need to submit a Room Change Request form asking to move to your room/suite. Both forms must be submitted no later than 4pm on Thursday, January 28.

If there is a vacancy in your double or triple room, you may submit a request to "Buy Out" that space (and not get a new roommate). Buy Out Request forms are available online and should be submitted no later than 4pm on Thursday, January 28. Otherwise, the vacancy may be assigned to a student as a room change.
