Room Change Request
There is a room freeze for the first two weeks after the start of classes. This allows time for staff to identify available spaces in housing facilities.
- Residents may request a room change through their myKU portal.
- Students may not move to another space without Housing & Residence Life authorization. If you do, you will incur charges and may face disciplinary action.
How to request a change
- Submit the online move request through the myKU portal
- Enter KU online ID and password.
- Select "Services" and "Login to Housing."
Important things to note
- Rates do vary by building and room type.
- Housing & Residence Life staff will contact you through your KU email with approval or denial of the move request.
- Requests are approved based on space availability, student eligibility for the requested space and in accordance with public health guidelines.
Once your request has been approved
- Residents must accept an approved move request within 24 hours or the request is cancelled.
- After a move request is accepted, Housing & Residence Life staff will email detailed move instructions with the confirmed move time and date.
- You must complete the process within 48 hours or you may be charged for both spaces.
- Take your KUID to your new building where front desk staff will check you in.
- Complete your check-in paperwork. In some cases, you receive a room key; other buildings use a swipe access with a proximity card.
- Move your belongings.
- Return to your original hall front desk to officially check out of your old space.
- You will need to complete a walk through inspection with a Housing & Residence Life staff member and return your key.
- If you fail to properly check out, you will receive administrative and damage fees.
