By default, your Room Swap Preferences are set such that you will not receive any Room Swap Requests. However, if you so desire, you may change your Room Swap Preferences to accept Room Swap Requests from the following people:

• People from your same building only
• People from your same housing area only
• People from anywhere in On-Campus Housing

If you change your Room Swap Preferences, your bed will be "swappable" (orange) in the Room Selection (but only to other residents who meet the conditions you specify in your Room Swap Preferences). Other Residents will be able to send you a Room Swap Request, and a message informing you of the request will be posted to your Message Board in My Housing Account. You have 48-hours to accept the request, should you choose to do so. Please see the Room Swap Instructions for more information.

• The top section of the Swap Confirmation page is a summary of your current Room Selection and the bed you would like to swap into
  
  In the Meal Plan Preference section, select a meal plan from the drop down list If you select a different meal plan than what you have currently, please note that your meal plan will only be changed if the room swap request is accepted and approved. If it is not, there will be no change made to your meal plan.
  
  If the semester/term for which you are requesting a swap, you will see a Move Date Preference section. If the semester/term has not yet begun, this section will not be visible. If it is there, select the date from the drop down list on which you would like to make the swap if it is accepted and approved.
  
  Click on the "Send Room Swap Request" button
  
  
• Read the Terms & Conditions, check the box certifying your agreement at the bottom, and then click the "Agree - Confirm Swap" button
  
  
• A message of confirmation will post to your Message Board in My Housing Account indicating you have made a Room Swap Request. When and if the Room Swap is accepted and approved, you will again be notified via a message on your Message Board.
  

• A message will post to the other resident's Message Board in My Housing Account informing them of the Room Swap Request. This message will contain a link which he/she can use to accept or reject the Room Swap Request within 48 hours. After 48 hours, the Room Swap Request expires.
• If the Room Swap Request is for the current semester/term, it must also be approved by both Hall Advisors involved in the swap (yours and the other person's). If the Room Swap Request is for a semester/term which hasn't begun yet, Hall Advisor approval is not required.
• You will be notified via a message on your Message Board if/when the Room Swap has been performed.
• If a Room Swap Request expires, gets rejected, or is not approved, you will not be allowed to submit another Room Swap Request for that same space. You may, however, submit a request for a different bed if you desire.

If your Room Swap Request has already been performed, you cannot cancel it. If, however, your Room Swap Request is still pending (i.e. hasn't been accepted and approved), you may cancel it by doing the following:

• Log in to My Housing Account
  
  
• Under the Single Housing tab, select "Housing Agreement (Room Selection)"
  
  
• Select the semester or term
