Facility Occupancy Management

The University reserves the right:

• To consolidate students in living quarters which are only partially full, even if it means moving a student from one apartment or suite to another, when that effort will assist the university in meeting continuing housing demand.
• To assign a student arriving to GU (or one already here who needs a new location) to any empty bed in any residence facility. This also includes empty beds in double bedrooms inside apartment facilities.
• Suitemates or Apartment mates are not allowed to refuse to admit a new roommate.
• To facilitate room swapping on-line and monitor that activity and intervene with any student who resists the incoming student request for a vacancy in a living unit, unless the empty bed in question has been purchased via a "premium single upgrade" well in advance of the inquiry.

Premium Single and Room Buyout Opportunities

Premium single and room buyout opportunities are not guaranteed and may not be available each academic year. When eligible spaces are identified, the Housing & Residence Life Office will contact residents in those spaces with information regarding:

• Availability of a premium single or room buyout option
• Associated costs and fees
• Instructions for accepting or declining the opportunity
• The deadline for making a decision

Students should not assume an unoccupied bed space will remain vacant. Until a premium single or room buyout agreement has been approved and finalized, Housing & Residence Life reserves the right to assign another student to the space as needed.

• Residents are expected to be welcoming and respectful of any student assigned to an available bed space.
• In group living quarters, there is an enhanced expectation for graciousness due to the very nature of sharing space with more than once student, and we reserve the right to reassign any resident(s) who create a hostile environment for one or more residents sharing the space. See clause #18 in your Rental Agreement supporting such an action.
• In extreme cases, this reassignment could even take the form of a revocation of permission to live in on campus property and any residence requirement associated with the student.
