Room Swap Form

Students that created roommate groups of 3 or 4 students may find that they didn’t get placed with their intended roommate, but their intended suitemate instead. There also may be some students interested in changing their assignment to be with a different roommate or to be assigned a different location. To assist with this, we will have a Room Swap Form open in My Housing between Monday, July 28 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, and Friday, August 8 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. 

Transitional Housing

Each year enrollment shifts and evolves. This sometimes creates a temporary need for overassigned rooms (what we call transitional housing) while we await predicted cancellations to continue through July and August. 

Transitional housing is an arrangement in which rooms are converted to house one additional student, typically on a temporary basis. As cancellations come in, transitional rooms are broken down and students are placed in permanent housing assignments as soon as possible. 

Residential Student Care Process

The purpose of the Residential Student Care Process is to connect students who have experienced some type of crisis with resources that promote their health, well-being, and success as a student. When there is concern that a student may need support, minimally a member of the REHS team will check in and provide resources with the student through Care Follow-Up. If a significant incident has occurred, a full-time staff member will offer to meet with the student to review resources and to support reintegration into the community in a Care Meeting.

Pack Up. Pitch In.

Pack Up. Pitch In. is a division-wide effort to reduce residence hall waste during move-in and move-out periods. By increasing the visibility and capacity of recycling options at busy times of year, Pack Up. Pitch In. diverts a large amount of materials from landfills. We encourage students to pack up undesirable room items and turn them into valuable resources. Large items and appliances should never be placed into dumpsters!

Spring Break 2025

Not leaving for Spring Break? Neither are we! For those students not planning to travel during spring break, February 28 – March 8, Live On offers the option to remain on campus with no registration or extra fee required.

Spring Incoming Students 

As you prepare to begin at Michigan State University this spring semester, we want you to be aware that on-campus housing availability is extremely limited.
