If you wish to be considered in the housing change lottery for a move to a different residence hall you must file a housing change request form on-line at http://web.mit.edu/housing/undergrad/application.html by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2009.

Please note the following conditions regarding housing switches:

1.  Change requests must be for a particular hall or halls other than where you are currently residing.  Special requests cannot be guaranteed except under pre-approved circumstances.  Please contact the Undergraduate Housing Office (residence@mit.edu or x3-2811) if you think that your request requires special consideration.

2.  If you submit a change request and are granted a new building assignment, you must move to that new assignment effective Spring 2010. There will not be an opportunity to decline the reassignment.

3.  You will be notified by e-mail when your assignment is granted, and how to go about the move-in process.  Note: any of the building preferences you chose in your application will be considered, so if you wish to change or edit your preferences, please fill out an updated request form at http://web.mit.edu/housing/undergrad/application.html before the deadline.

4.  Change requests may not be granted due to limited space in residence halls.  All assignments are made in a date-applied order.

5.  If you will not be at MIT during IAP, and have submitted a housing change request, please be sure to check your e-mail or email the Undergraduate Housing Office after December 10th for the results.
