First-year Residence Exchange

First-year residents looking to change their building assignment after REX can participate in the optional FYRE process. If you’re happy with your current building assignment, no action is required. 

• This process only allows you to change your building if spaces are available. We cannot predict the availability of spaces through the FYRE process or the likelihood of a new building assignment.
• Room assignments are finalized after the FYRE process is completed. Specific room type requests are managed by the houses and are not included in the FYRE process.
• The FYRE process is binding. If you submit a FYRE request and successfully receive a new building assignment, you’ll be required to move to your new assignment on Move Day because your original assignment will have been allocated to another resident.
• The FYRE process is an individual process, meaning that you cannot apply together with another resident or as part of a group. If you receive a new building assignment, any questions about your specific room assignment should be directed to the RAC for your new building.
• Professional movers will be on-site to assist with FYRE building moves on Move Day.

Residents moving to a new housing assignment (either to a new room or to a new building) must move out of their initial housing assignment by 8 am on Move Day. Each building has a designated area for you to place your belongings while you transition to a new housing assignment. Professional movers will be on-site to assist FYRE participants with moving boxes to their new building. Rooms will be available for move-in after 12 pm.
