Room Changes

Residential Colleges cherish the sense of belonging and community. Before submitting a room swapping request, we encourage you to communicate with your current roommate(s). Bear in mind that patience and respect are the keys to resolve any conflicts. Besides, you are welcome to reach out to the RC Management Team for assistance.

If you have decided to submit a room swapping request, here are the things you should pay attention to:

  • Room swapping will only be considered in certain period of each semester. Applicant should refer to the application form for the application deadline.
  • Room swapping application submitted in Semester 2 will be only considered when at least one of the applicants begins his/her residence in Semester 2.
  • No room swapping will be considered during summer term.
  • Applicants must obtain consent from all current and future roommates.
  • Applicants should seek recommendation from their Resident Tutor, as well as approval from the Master or Associate Master.
  • If the room types of the two applicants are different, the residents concerned are responsible to settle the difference in residential fee on their own. Residential Colleges Section will not be responsible for handling any matters in this regard.
