General Procedure for Changing Rooms

• Check the vacancy list in The Hub
  
• Talk to your current roommate(s) and let them know you're looking for a change in housing.
• Contact the remaining residents of the room with the vacancy.
• If the remaining residents are agreeable, complete the draw-in form (which they have) and return it to Residential Life. If you are currently housed on campus, please be aware that on campus moves for future terms are allowed only during a one week period after available rooms are posted for the following term.

Changing Rooms Because of a Roommate Conflict

Your RA is your first resource if you want to change rooms as the result of a roommate conflict. The RA/House Manager may refer you to the Hall Director. Your Hall Director will work with you in determining if the possibility to move exists and if there are any rooms with vacancies. The Hall Director will be in contact with Residential Life staff and may at some point refer you to the office staff to accomplish a move.

Changing Rooms for Disability Accommodations or Medical Needs

• If you need disablity accommodations
  Special housing accommodations are not standard academic accommodation. In order to determine if special housing is a reasonable accommodation, we must receive detailed documentation of the correlations of your academic and cognitive deficits with the need for special housing that either cannot be secured through the Room Draw process or completed after a room has been drawn. Complete a Request for Special Housing Accommodation form and submit it along with the supporting documentation to the Director of Residential Life. If it is determined that the student is eligible for housing based on their disability, appropriate housing will be identified by Residential Life staff. If the College is unable to provide appropriate accommodations, the student will be eligible for Northfield Option. Further information can be obtained by calling the Office of Residential Life, 507-222-4072.
• If you have special medical needs during the term
  Make an appointment to talk with the Director of Residential Life regarding a move related to a medical need. If a student is injured and is unable to use the stairway in a building, Residential Life staff will issue an elevator key that can be used until the established return date. Since the elevators in the majority of our buildings are freight elevators, only the injured student is allowed to ride in the elevator.

Students with disabilities requiring academic accommodations will want to contact the Office of the Dean of Students, Severance 113, for information on Disability Services.
