Reassignment/Space Change Requests for 2013-2014
Please note the following when completing a room reassignment/space change request:
- You will not be contacted prior to being reassigned. Reassignment requests cannot be cancelled once they are accommodated, as your previous space will be immediately utilized for other reassignment requests.
- If you select a space through the reassignment request process for which you are not eligible, the requested will be voided.
- All parties interested in reassignment must complete the form and the requests must be mutual.
- The Department of Residence Life does not guarantee reassignment/space change requests.
If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Residence Life: Housing@uis.edu or 217-206-6190.

Information and instructions about this process can be found below. We hope that this process is an easy one for you! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in our direct message box at the bottom.
All students in good standing (academically, behaviorally, and financially) will have the opportunity to participate in the contract renewal process.
If you forget or fail to complete the on-line application form we will presume that you will not be residing on campus and your space will be reallocated. Residents who fail to reserve a space during the prescribed dates will lose their opportunity to be assigned before new applicants.
