Roommate / suitemate concern

Living with other people can be difficult at times but it is essential that residents learn to live together through cooperation and respect. It is advised that all residents sharing a bedroom or suite complete the Roommate Agreement Contract. Further, we will only process one room change for Roommate/Suitemate Concern per contract.

Please note that room changes for roommate/suitemate concerns are not accepted within the first month of the term.

Step 1 - Try to resolve the matter

If there is a roommate conflict, residents must first attempt to resolve the matter between them. This includes talking about the issue or creating a roommate agreement contract.

Step 2 - Contact a Don

If residents are unable to resolve a conflict on their own, they must contact their Don who will then facilitate a mediation with the parties involved.

Step 3 - Schedule an appointment with a RLC

If the conflict cannot be resolved, or should a resident have other questions regarding the room change process, they may schedule an appointment with a or Residence Life Co-ordinator (RLC) by email.

Step 4 - RLC Mediation

At your appointment, your RLC will assess the situation. If it is agreed that a room change is appropriate, the CC or RLC will begin the administrative process. Please note that room availability may be limited. Room changes are conducted on a priority basis and may take a few weeks.

Step 5 - Confirmation

Once the administrative process is complete, your RLC will send you an email confirming your move and provide you with additional information regarding the room change process.

Note the following:

A resident may be moved at their RLCs discretion.
Some bed spaces may appear to be vacant, however they may not be available.
