Spring Room and Dining Membership Information
Students have an opportunity to change room assignments and/or meal plans for the spring semester. Students who are leaving Wake Forest University for any reason must officially request to terminate campus housing and dining membership and consequently not incur charges for the spring semester. Those students studying abroad during the fall semester will select on campus housing and a meal plan for the spring semester in December. If you have an on campus assignment and wish to petition to be released to live off campus, please read the Off Campus Housing Policy closely.
Changing Room Assignments
Spring Room Change Request form
Some students want to make a room change for the spring semester. Because of mid-year graduations and the spring Study Abroad program, many students want to "Pull-In" a new roommate of choice rather than have a randomly assigned student to the room. Students interested in making a change in their current room assignment, roommate or meal plan should submit a Spring Room Change Request form to Residence Life and Housing in Benson University Center 101 by 5pm Friday, November 13, 2009.
Requesting a Single Room
To request a single room, students should complete Section I of the Spring Room Change Request form. Any available single space outside of Theme/Greek Block Housing will be filled in priority number order (based on the same priority number from the Fall Room Selection process during the previous spring semester). Residence Life and Housing will contact the student should space become available. Typically very few, if any, single spaces become available for the spring semester.
Theme/Greek Block Housing
To request a room change to or within Theme/Greek Block Housing, students should complete Section II of the Spring Room Change Request form and obtain the necessary signature from the adviser, coordinator, or president of the Theme/Greek Housing Area. Students currently assigned to Theme/Greek Block Housing are only eligible to move within their designated housing blocks. Students who are currently assigned to, or move into, a Theme/Greek Housing Area are not permitted to move outside of the Theme/Greek Housing Area for the remainder of the academic year.
"Pull-In" A Roommate
If a resident has a vacancy in their room during the fall semester, or one roommate is leaving at the end of the fall semester, the remaining roommate may "Pull-In" a new roommate of choice rather than having one assigned randomly by Residence Life and Housing. The person chosen to be pulled into the room with the vacancy must complete the Spring Room Change Request form as the person requesting a room change. The person with the vacancy or impending vacancy, must complete and sign Section III of their form as the "Pull-er" indicating agreement to have that person pulled into the room.
Change Rooms and/or Buildings
To request to move within or to another building, students must complete Section IV of the Spring Room Change Request form making sure to indicate only acceptable building/room preferences for a new assignment. Any specific requests should be made in the "Other" section at the bottom of the form.
Study Abroad (STAB)

Leaving Campus Housing
Any student currently assigned to any campus housing location who is leaving Wake Forest University for any reason (i.e., studying abroad, graduating, transferring to another school, desiring to move off campus, going home, etc.) must petition to be released from their Housing/Dining Membership Agreement. Please go to the online gateway and complete this petition by the posted deadline.
Moving Off Campus
Students living on campus during the fall semester who desire to move off campus in the spring should first review the Off-Campus Housing Policy and Process .
All petitions for release from the current academic year Housing Agreement will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Students should be aware that official release from the Housing Agreement is required prior to signing any off-campus lease. Also, release from the current academic year Housing Agreement does not guarantee approval through the Off Campus Housing Process nor release from the Dining Membership Agreement. Students who desire to petition to be released from the current academic year Housing Agreement should go to the online gateway and complete this process by the posted deadline.
Changing Dining Membership
