- 13 - After the initial Move-On Days students who demonstrate a severs situation that requires a room change may be allowed to do so, but must first work with their hall staff to make sure that all avenues to address the current situation has been resolved. Room Consolidation Students that are in a non-paid single room will be involved in room consolidation. The room consolidation process for the fall semester is scheduled for the weekend of September 17, 2021. The room consolidation process for the spring semester is scheduled for the weekend of February 4, 2022. Information will be sent to the students that are involved in the process. The student will have one of three options: 1. Take their current room as a paid single. The single room charge will be pro-rated from the day the room became a single. 2. Find a student who currently has a roommate who would like to purchase the room as a single. The roommate would then move in with the student in the non-paid single. 3. Find a student who is currently in a non-paid single and needs a roommate. The hall staff will work with the students that are involved in the consolidation process. Failure to exercise one of the options will lead to the student receiving a roommate or a new room assignment. If a student refuses a new roommate or to relocate to a new room, they will be billed for a single room for the entire period they are without a roommate. Single Rooms Single rooms are made available when space permits. After classes begin, the Office of Residence Life will advertise available rooms with priority given by the number of earned hours acquired at Northern. These rooms have an additional fee per semester and are assigned on a semester by semester basis. Room Selection Process During the Spring Semester, each resident is given an opportunity to make space requests for the following year. Present occupants of a room will have first priority in reassignment to that room provided proper paperwork and housing contracts are submitted by the deadlines set by the Office of Residence Life. Please be aware this is simply a request for a room and not a guarantee of that assignment. Final assignments are made by the Office of Residence Life based on needs of the entire NSU community. Roommates One of the most significant relationships you will develop on campus is the one with your roommate. Whether you know your roommate ahead of time or not, the development of this relationship is key in creating a positive environment to live and learn in the residence halls. We want you to have the best experience possible on campus, so here are a few tips that will help cultivate a good relationship with your roommate. During your first week on campus, you will receive a roommate agreement from your RA. These roommate agreements will allow you to talk through issues such as: cleaning responsibilities, sleeping habits, visitation expectations, study habits and more. The roommate agreement is important to the success of living on campus with roommates.
