During the Year
Residents are allowed to change rooms during the academic year as long as the request is official and approved. The first opportunity to switch rooms will be the September 19th, second week after school starts. Room changes are performed weekly upon the submission of an online request. Priority is based on availability and needs of the students. For safety and security reasons, students must stay in their assigned room until they have been approved to move.

Caution
Moving belongings to the new room prior to your scheduled date may jeopardize your eligibility to live on-campus in the future and may put your personal belongings at risk of being donated to a local charity.

• Weekly Room Changes for Fall Begin September 20th.
• Room changes for the Spring semester begin December 1st.

Generally, room changes work in the following way:

• Submit an online Room Change request form to Housing & Residential Life. You will need to use your NYIT ID # and NYIT email and complete the whole form
• Housing & Residential Life Office will either contact you directly or forward your email to the right HRL professional.
• In some instances, room changes may not be automatic and will require intervention from a Housing & Residential Life staff with potential agreements being established.
• If the room change is approved then they would be given a few choices and if applicable, asked to check out the rooms.
• The resident will meet roommates and notify the Office of Housing & Residential Life of the desired room no later than Thursday of that week.
• The resident will then come in Friday after 1:00 p.m. to have their keys exchanged so they can move over the weekend. The resident will be issued a temporary key for the old room which must be returned to Office of Housing & Residential Life the following Monday.

Note: Moving from a Single to Double / Double to Single is a monetary change that will be prorated from the time that room change has been completed.
