Room Change Process Information

Important Room Change Considerations:

• Once a room change request is approved, the resident must check in to their new housing assignment. If they do not complete the approved room change, a $75 improper checkout fee will be charged to their account. Additionally, the student may still be required to relocate, as their change could affect other residents’ approved room assignments. Once a room change has been approved; cancellations cannot occur as this could impact other residents who have also been approved for a room change.
• Room change requests are not guaranteed, as they contingent upon the availability of suitable spaces at the time of placement for each resident.
• The Room Change Process does not operate on a first-come, first-served basis for form submissions. Therefore, students are encouraged to carefully complete the form. In the event of conflicting requests, priority may be given based on the highest earned credits.
• Please note that it is the resident’s responsibility to review room and board costs, which are posted on the Office of Student Accounts website.

• Prohibited Items: Residents in traditional residence halls, Bischoff Hall, Laurel Hall, Mackin Hall, The Overlook and Pine Hall, are not allowed to have household appliances, as outlined in the prohibited items list. However, residents of The College Park Apartments and The Village may use most household appliances. All students planning to relocate are strongly encouraged to review the prohibited items list before moving.
• Meal Plan Requirements: Residents in traditional residence halls, Bischoff Hall, Laurel Hall, Mackin Hall, The Overlook and Pine Hall, are required to have a meal plan. Only residents assigned to The Village and The College Park Apartments have the option to forgo a meal plan. Those relocating to The Village or The College Park Apartments during the open room change period may drop their meal plan (if applicable) by emailing mealplan@ramapo.edu by the specified meal plan change date for the semester (Residence Life Important Dates). If no meal plan is selected, residents will automatically be assigned the Tasty 10 meal plan. Additionally, residents who relocate to The Village or The College Park Apartments after the semester’s deadline for dropping a meal plan will not be able to remove their existing meal plan.
• Alcohol Allowed: If you are applying for an alcohol-allowed assignment, you must complete the alcohol-allowed agreement form before submitting your room change request.
• Parking: Residents approved for a room change are responsible for updating their parking information, if applicable. Those with current parking permits must return their old permit at the Office of Public Safety (ID room) to receive a new one. First-time applicants for a parking permit should apply at www.ramapo.thepermitstore.com. For any parking-related questions, please email the Office of Public Safety at parking@ramapo.edu.
