A direct swap occurs when two students "swap"
room assignments with each other.
Direct Swap bulletin boards or binders are located at residence
offices and at the BU Housing Assignments Area. Available on these
bulletin boards and in these binders are direct swap cards that
students have completed at these offices. If you locate a card of
a student whose current assignment interests you, contact the student
to discuss swapping rooms.
If you find a student who would like to swap rooms and one or both
of you have roommates, those roommates must also agree to the swap.
When you have the agreement of all the students involved, you must
all go to your residence office to complete a Direct Swap Request
Form. You must receive the approval of your residence director before
the swap can take place. Once your direct swap is approved, you
have 48 hours to complete your move.
Because of variable residence
rates, the residence rate for a new assignment may be more expensive
than for your present assignment. You are responsible for
payment of the higher rate for the new accommodation as stated in
your Residence License Agreement
and detailed in the academic
year residence and dining plan rate schedule.
Room changes between dormitory-style and apartment-style residences
will result in changes in dining
plan status. Students assigned to a dormitory-style residence
are required to be on a dining plan. Students who change from a
dormitory-style to an apartment-style residence will be removed
from their dining plan and should contact the Terrier
Card Office if they wish to remain on a dining plan.
Students are permitted to direct swap with one another during designated
periods during fall and spring semesters.
Direct swaps are not permitted during the Intersession period (between
fall and spring semesters) or during the summer for the upcoming
academic year.
