Room Change and Room Swap
ROOM CHANGE AND ROOM SWAP
There are two ways students can request to change their housing assignment: Room Change and Room Swap.
- A Room Change occurs when a student is interested in changing rooms and does not have a person to switch with.
- A Room Swap occurs when students agree to switch rooms with each other. Students will need to send an email to HRL@uncg.edu and come to the HRL Office to finalize the switch.

Room change & Room swap FAQ
We reserve Freshmen housing for incoming students which limits the spaces you can see as an upperclassmen. We will receive cancellations throughout the next few months which will continue to open up new spaces on campus. We suggest frequently logging back in to view if any spaces become available.
We suggest completing a room swap. First, contact your current roommate and ask if they are willing to room swap. If they are willing to swap with your friend, then they both will need to send an email to hrl@uncg.edu.
No, spaces change and move quickly and there is not a way for us to monitor and contact students.
You are able to view any spaces that are available on Artemis. As HRL processes cancellations the spaces will be shown as available students via individual self-assign or room change. This process ensures that Artemis is accurate for the time and date of you logging in.
After you have submitted the form, you will be able to see the room swap information. Make sure to copy and save the link to come back and view the information.
