Room Change

Housing considers all students' preferences and makes every effort to place the student in their preferred rooming style. However, we understand that sometimes a room change may be necessary. Please see below for the process to request a room change.


When are you requesting a room change?

Prior to move-in

Email Housing: If you have not yet moved into your room, you may request a room change by emailing housing@uwf.edu

Please note: Not all room changes or roommate requests will be possible, as they are done on a space-available basis. If we are unable to fulfill your request, we will contact you to discuss other options.

After move-in

Schedule an appointment: Set up an appointment with your Hall Director to discuss your need for a room change. If your change request is based on roommate-related issues, you will be asked to participate in roommate mediation before you are granted a room change request. 

Please note: 

  • You will be notified by email if a room change can be approved.
  • Your requests may have to be added to a standby list if the space you requested is not available. 
  • You must not have a past due balance on your student account. 
  • If you are moved to a space with a higher rental rate than what your current room has, the difference will be added to your student account.
  • Not all room changes or roommate requests will be possible if there are no spaces within housing available. If we are unable to fulfill your request, Housing administration will contact you to discuss other options.
