After You Apply: Changing Your 2019-20 Assignment
This section applies to everyone but new, first-time students (freshmen). Once you have successfully assigned yourself to a room, you may make changes by following one of the processes below. Be sure to read through both before you make a decision.
To de-assign means to be removed from a room to which you were assigned, without cancelling your housing application, so you can choose another room. Once Current Campus Residents, Upperclass Non-Residents, or Transfer students have selected a room, they will not be able to see available/unfilled rooms to make changes to their selection.
In order to see available/unfilled rooms to make a change, you must complete the Housing De-Assignment Form for Upperclassmen in Artemis, which becomes available March 1. Within one business day after this form is completed, you will receive an e-mail notifying you that you have been de-assigned from your current 2019-2020 assignment. You can then use Artemis to select a new room from what's available. Be aware that there are certain risks to de-assigning yourself from a room to which you are currently assigned and you might want to consider Room Swap instead.
De-Assignment Risks for Current Campus Residents, Upperclass Non-Residents, or Transfer Students:
Although you will be able to select a new room after being de-assigned, here are some risks to keep in mind before you de-assign:- Once you de-assign, you cannot change your mind and ask to get your current 2019-2020 assignment back.
- We cannot tell you what is available. Because other students are constantly searching for rooms, the information we would provide would be outdated as soon as we told you. So yes, you have to give up your current room with no guarantees of getting anything better.
- If you and your roommate de-assign, you might not be able to get yourselves back together in the same room/suite/apartment.
- How many rooms are available Remember, other students have selected rooms too and this limits what's available for you to choose. The more rooms that are available at the moment you search, the greater chance you have at selecting one.
- How many students are searching for rooms If no other students are searching for a room when you look, you have a greater chance of selecting a new space (if one is available). You may even be able to re-select the room you just de-assigned from if you don't see a room you want more.
- How many times you check Artemis If you plan to de-assign and then only check Artemis once for a space, you may not find the space you want or a space at all. You must check Artemis multiple times a day to see if new spaces become available as other students de-assign or cancel their housing applications. Last year, we had a few students who de-assigned and selected a new room over 15 times. The more persistent you are, the better chances you have at finding a room.
You might want to consider Room Swap instead of De-Assignment
If you are interested in changing your assignment but don’t want to De-Assign, you can try a "Room Swap." Room Swap refers to finding a room you want on a spreadsheet that includes other students who want to change rooms. If they want your room in return, you can swap. To start the process:- Log into ARTEMIS, where you will find the Room Swap Form.
- If you are able to find someone with a room space that you would like to swap with, each of you need to send an e-mail to hrl@uncg.edu with the following info:
- Name
- UNCG ID Number
- Hall and Room to which you are currently assigned
- Name of the Student with whom you want to switch rooms
- His or her Hall and Room assignment
