After Move-in
When can I reassign?
Academic year reassignments can be made from mid-September through late November during the Fall Semester and mid-January through early April during the Spring semester.
Where do I go for reassignment?
You can reassign at any Housing Customer Service Center, including the Housing Services Office in PSX (except for the first week of reassignment in September).
How do I find out what housing spaces are available?
You will need to check with a Housing CSC to see what is currently available. The inventory of open spaces is subject to change as students move around, especially at the beginning of a semester, so if something is open that you want, you should act quickly. If you don’t find something you want on your first visit, you may wish to check again a few days later to see if something has opened up.
Can I be on a wait list for reassignment?
No. Reassignment during the academic year is done strictly on an “over-the-counter” basis, where students reassign on the spot if a space is open that they want. USC Housing doesn’t maintain a list of students and their desired reassignments not do we call students to let them know if something opens up.
Is there a form I need to fill out?
Yes. If there is a space that you wish to reassign to you will be given a form at the CSC to request that space and complete the reassignment.
Can I be reassigned with roommates?
Yes. You and your roommates must come to a CSC together to see what is available for your group and fill out the necessary paperwork if you find something suitable.
Can I switch spaces with another resident?
Yes. You and the student with whom you are switching spaces must come in to a CSC together to work out the switch.
How long to do I have to move?
Once you complete the reassignment paper work, you have 48 hours to move out of your current assignment and check in to your new one.
What paperwork do I need to reassign?
If we have a housing available that suits your needs, you'll need to fill out a reassignment form to request the change. Housing will give you a copy of this form. You’ll need to show this to the CSC of your current assignment when you check out and to the CSC of you new assignment when you check in.
