CONVERTED HOUSING – Some residents may be assigned to converted housing. Converted housing rooms are standard residential rooms that have been converted from a double room to a triple room.


All residents who are assigned to a converted housing room are expected to comply with the housing agreement’s terms and conditions. Should a resident of a converted housing room request a move to a standard room, his or her request will be processed ahead of regular room change requests, as space allows.


Converted housing residents will be issued a credit with the following standards:


• A 20 percent credit will be issued on room charges to all converted housing residents for the time period in which there are additional residents assigned to the room


• Credits will be issued at the end of each quarter


Residents are responsible for reading and responding to any official email, voicemail or mail sent to them by the university and for updating their information in Campus Connect. Housing Services will communicate with students using the most updated email and address registered in Campus Connect. Failure to update or check email, campus mail or U.S. mail will not excuse a student from responding to or having knowledge of a message from the university.
