You will need your NetID/password to check this

Hall, Room, and Roommate (if applicable) will be listed

on the left hand side

If you CAN’T see a roommate, they may not have been

assigned yet (or might want their information kept private)

All Assignments Released via TAMU Email Account

http://reslife.tamu.edu/

reslife.tamu.edu

Did Not Get What You Wanted?

Assigned… but did NOT get your requested roommate?

Did you BOTH list “Roommate Over Hall” Option?

If NOT… then you may have been assigned separately

Assigned with my roommate… but we did NOT get in one of the halls we requested:

Roommate over hall means…who you live with is more important than where you live

Student with the LATEST housing priority date “drives” the housing assignment

We did NOT get assigned with our requested suitemates?

A&M does not guarantee suitemates

“Before move-in” appeals will be accepted until August 1st

Website: reslife.tamu.edu/onlineServices/hallchangeRequest

reslife.tamu.edu

reslife.tamu.edu

Roommate Over Hall Expectations…

Roommate Over Hall does not work if:

You are a “new to housing” freshman student and your roommate request

is a “returning student” who already has an assignment

This would be unfair to other incoming students

You have “Guaranteed” (Temporary) or “Wait List” Housing

Based on when you applied for on-campus housing

Many Regent Scholars, Blinn TEAMers & Gateway

students may be in this category

reslife.tamu.edu

OK … Now What ? After the Appeals Process is Over

Room Changes (different room but same hall)

Hall Staff may start accepting these changes on:

ResHalls: Sunday, Aug 21rd (when the halls open)

Hall / Apartment Changes (move to a different hall / style of apartment)

We will start accepting requests on the 1st day of class – only done

online

We wait to give the students a better idea of what halls / rooms are

available

Roommate Changes …depends on who is moving (hall vs room

change)

We need to hear from the student who is moving

…not the parent or the roommate

reslife.tamu.edu
