Our ability to accommodate room/building changes is based solely on the availability of space.

Different types of room changes are possible depending on the individual student's needs. Each student requesting a room change will meet with his/her Residence Hall Director (RHD) to discuss options, needs and determine the best course of action. Please be advised that the room change procedure is not part of the reasonable accommodation process and, thus, cannot take into consideration your disability-related concerns or give you a priority status for a room change. For more information on resources available from the Department of Residence Education.

During the first three weeks of each semester a "room freeze" is in effect. This period allows for the Housing Office to take an inventory of occupancy and vacancies. During this time, students may submit room change requests, however changes will not begin until after the freeze is over.

A Room Change Packet containing instruction materials, forms, deadline dates, and housing rates is available through the Residence Hall Office. Students should make note that housing rates are different for the various buildings and room types and also that some buildings may require enrollment in a meal plan.

When considering a change, room costs and meal plan requirements must be considered.

Please Note: The room that you are assigned to with-in a suite initiates activation of your NYU internet and phone service. Unauthorized room changes with in a suite will result in the inability to use these services.
