If you are dissatisfied with your assignment prior to the beginning of the semester, you can request a change of assignment in the Housing Portal.

 

Follow these steps:

1. Login to the WKU Housing Portal
2. Select "View and Confirm Room Assignment"
3. Select the appropriate term and choose "Save & Continue"
4. Select "Confirm Room Assignment, Attending WKU" from the "Confirm Placement" dropdown menu and choose "Save & Continue"
5. Choose an option in the dropdown menu to request a change (private room, different building, move with roommate request) and choose "Save & Continue"

 

Due to the high demand for housing, assignment changes are limited prior to the start of the fall semester. There are no guarantees, but changes may be made as space permits.

If you have previously requested a change, you do not need to request it again.
