Room Change Requests

To request a Fleming Residence Room Change, you must complete the Room Change Request form on the Housing Portal. Room changes are approved only in extenuating circumstances and often require a meeting with staff. For issues with a suitemate, follow the suggestions on our Tips & Suggestions on Suitemate Conflicts page. Residence and Housing Services may only process one suitemate-related room change per contract. Be aware of potential fees, such as a $150 fee for approved changes at Fleming.

General process
  • Contact your RA or SRA: Visit your RA or SRA to help. RAs are available in the office during student staff office hours Monday to Friday 4:00pm – 11:00pm and Saturday to Sunday 8:30am to 11:00pm.
  • Request a meeting: You can to book a meeting with Residence staff to discuss your request.
  • Follow mediation steps: If the reason for the change is a suitemate concern, you must first follow the steps in the Suitemate Conflict Resolution Process before your request will be considered.
  • Be aware of fees: If your request is approved, be prepared for potential fees. For example, Fleming charges a $150 fee that includes an administrative fee and a cleaning/maintenance fee.
  • No early changes: Room changes are not accepted within the first month of the semester. 
What to know before you apply
  • Room change approvals are rare: Approvals are not guaranteed and are based on a limited number of available rooms. Rooms may not be available if all spaces in Residence are taken.
  • Fees may apply: Be prepared to pay a fee if approved. For example, Fleming charges $150 for a room change.
  • Understand the contract: Review your occupancy agreement for details on the cancellation schedule and any associated fees.Â
