Room Swap
Getting Started
To start the process, simply log-in to My Housing and use the Room Swap tab on the gold bar. Advertise your room and search for another advertised room that suits you better. Direct messages can be sent to other students through the Room Swap process.
Steps for a Room Swap
Please Note: Mid-year room changes must be authorized by Housing and Residence Life staff. Any improper room changes could result in a fee. Please reach out to your Hall Director for assistance.
- Student A and Student B log into Room Swap to indicate building preferences and advertise their rooms.
- Student A “Requests” to swap with Student B.
- Student B logs into Room Swap and clicks “Accept” the request.
- Student A logs into Room Swap and clicks on “Initiate Swap” by Student B’s name.
- Student A MUST then click “Complete Swap” on the Room Swap confirmation page. The Swap is now complete!
Room Swap will be available after your room selection is completed and will end prior to move-in. If you know someone who plans to cancel and you want to swap to that room, be sure to complete a room swap PRIOR to that student canceling their housing contract/room online. You can also submit an Administrative Room Change Request, which gives Georgia Tech Housing permission to change your room assignment.
Per the housing contract, room/apartment changes that take place after move-in require authorization from the appropriate hall director.
Those in Student Staff rooms, Athletic housing, and Family-Monthly apartments are not eligible for Room Swap. Changes for these rooms should be requested by the program coordinator or assignments office.
Living Learning Community students may only room swap within their LLC residence hall with other LLC students.
First-year students in an apartment must submit a ticket to the Housing Help Desk to request a room swap.
