Graduate Housing Assignments

Room to Room Transfers

If you wish to change rooms within your dorm, and you live in Sidney-Pacific, Edgerton, or Tang, you should come to the Graduate Housing Office in E19-429 to fill out a room to room transfer card. You will be added to the waiting list for your building and we will offer you a room transfer via email if a room becomes available.

The transfer policy for family housing is more complicated. Please see the web page about family housing policies.

Building to Building Transfers

The Building to Building Transfer process will be open during November 2008. Only current residents who will be fully registered MIT Graduate Students in the Spring of 2009 are eligible.

Please note that the ability to transfer depends on vacancies and the number of people that enter the transfer lottery. The more people that enter, the better your chances that we will be able to find a transfer for you.

After the November lottery, the next opportunity for residents to transfer buildings will be to terminate your assignment for the fall of 2009 and enter the Continuing Student Allocation in the spring of 2009. However, we do not recommend this as there will be limited spaces available and you may not get back into Graduate Housing for the fall term.

You may enter the Building to Building Transfer lottery starting in mid October .
