How To Resolve Roommate Concerns

Below are options residents can explore if they are having roommate concerns:

1. Talk with your roommate:

Sometimes small issues arise which are left unresolved that lead to larger roommate concerns. When little things arise, bring it to your roommates attention and come up to an agreement on a better way you will handle the same situation in the future. Make sure any changes you make to your roommate contract are updated on the contract itself. Residential staff can assist with this process. If you are not quite sure how to approach this conversation with your roommate, contact your Resident Assistant for advice and guidance.

2. Meet with your Resident Director or Residential Learning Coordinator:

Sometimes issues that arise between roommates can be easily resolved through medication or open communication with a neutral third party. Our professional staff members are trained to assist residents with dealing with some of these difficult and awkward situations. If you have any concerns or issues, please contact your Resident Director or Residential Learning Coordinator and set up a meeting to explore your options.

3. Submit a room change/room swap request:

Room change/room swap requests will be taken on an ongoing basis throughout the Spring 2012 semester. If you would like to put in a room change/swap request, please submit your request using the Spring 2012 Room Change Request Form. Requests will be reviewed every Friday throughout the semester. The Office of Residential Learning and University Housing will be in contact with you via your Rowan e-mail and cell phone number on file if your request can be granted. If you do not hear from the Office of Residential Learning and University Housing, your request is still pending.
