No. Student room/apartment assignments are subject to change prior to check-in for a variety of reasons. Since we can’t guarantee that you will remain assigned to a particular room/apartment number, we can’t accept such reassignment requests.
I don’t think I will get along with one of the people assigned to my room; can I reassign to get a more compatible roommate?
Yes. You can submit a request listing your current assignment as your preference. However, reassignment is not a roommate matching process. USC Housing’s online matching tools are no longer available once you have been assigned. If you can locate your own roommate(s), you may, all submit group reassignment requests, and we will try to assign… Read more »
I’ve heard that someone is cancelling their university housing contract. Can I reassign to their space when they cancel?
Not necessarily. Just because you know someone who is cancelling does not mean they can “give” their space to you. When cancellations occur, those spaces are used for reassignment according to the normal reassignment procedures and priorities.
Can I submit more than one request?
No. You can only have one open request of any type. Once you have been reassigned, you can submit another request.
What are my chances to be reassigned?
That depends on a variety of factors, such as, where you wish to be reassigned (it’s harder to get into more popular buildings), if a roommate is involved (in general, it’s more difficult to move pairs of residents) and when you submitted your request (the earlier, the better).
Will you contact me when you have a new space for me so I can decide whether or not I want it?
No. Submission of your request indicates your willingness to be moved to one of the listed preferences. If one of your preferences becomes available, we will reassign you without consultation and then notify that your request is complete. So, if you’re not sure you wish to live in a particular building, don’t list it as… Read more »

How long will it take for my request to be granted?
There’s no way to say for sure; it depends on what housing space become available for reassignment. We may be able to complete it quickly or it may take weeks and perhaps we won’t ever be able to fulfill your request. Your reassignment will remain open until: a) we are able to complete it, b) you… Read more »
When will I know if I have been reassigned?
If we are able to reassign you, we will send you an e-mail letting you know we have completed your request.
I changed my mind and don’t want to live where I have been reassigned. Can my reassignment be undone?
No. Once your reassignment is completed, it is your new assignment. In most cases your previous assignment has been used for another student. You can, if you wish, submit a new reassignment request.
