Hello Oxford Students,

Residential Education and Services (RES) understands the importance of students feeling comfortable in their dwellings. Student comfort aids in student academic success and connections with others. Therefore, at the beginning of each semester and depending on space availability, RES allows students to request to change their current assignments. Room Changes and Room/Roommate Swap are the processes by which students are able to change their assignments. All students currently residing in residential housings are eligible to participate in the room change process.

The Scheduled Room Change Process for the spring 2015 is about to begin.

There are three information sessions to discuss the upcoming spring 2015 room change process. The process has changed and will not include students going to the desired hall to obtain the room change paperwork.
Please come to one of the sessions below for information on the process:
• Wednesday, January 14, 2015: 12:00pm - 2:00pm in Dean's Dining Room
• Thursday, January 15, 2015: 12:00pm - 1:30pm in the AKIN room
• Wednesday, January 21, 2015: 6:00pm - 7:00pm in the AKIN room

All questions will be answered at those sessions.
Do not conduct any unauthorized room changes (actually moving your personal belongings from your RES assigned room to another room).
Thank you and see you at the sessions!

As we prepare for Room Change, it is important that students understand the following:

- There were Winter Break assignments for students in extended housing and returning to Oxford for the spring 2015 semester. Those assignments take priority over room changes and will continue to occur at this time. Students with new roommates will receive an email from our office stating such. The assignments are final.

- Do not conduct an unauthorized room change. Unless you have written permission (documentation) from RES, the change has not been approved. Moving will result in judicial and financial charges being assessed to all involved students.

- There will be information sessions to discuss the process. The first session will be Wednesday, January 14, 2015 between 12:00pm and 1:00pm in Dean's Dining Room. Please attend for information.

- You can schedule a meeting with me ([email protected]). I will explain the process and answer questions that you may have.

Thanks

Hello Oxford Students,

I hope this email finds you well. Please read the following email in its entirety.

This email serves as a reminder of the upcoming important dates. You can find all important Residential Education and Services (RES) dates on the RES calendar (http://oxford.emory.edu/life-at-oxford/housing/important-dates/).

Below are the important dates that apply to all students. Students are required to follow these dates.

Unless approved for Late Stay or Early Arrival by RES, students are required to vacate their fall 2014 semester by 10:00am December 18, 2014 (or 24-hours after their last final exam [whichever comes first]) and return to their spring 2015 assignments by 9:00am on Sunday, January 11, 2015 (sophomores only) or 9:00am on Monday, January 12, 2015 (current freshmen).

RES will not allow students to return prior to the stated return dates. Failure to adhere to the return dates can result in the student being assessed a financial charge, the student being sent through the student conduct process, or both. Students approved to return early will receive a separate email from RES.

Have a great rest of the semester!

Respectfully,

Walter

Here is information in regards to the upcoming Fall Break.

Hello Oxford Students,

I hope this email finds you well and that your semester is ending on a positive note.

This email serves as a reminder that our RES staff will inspect rooms as students leave.

As students begin to leave for the spring 2014 semester and officially check-out of their rooms, our RES staff will enter the rooms to conduct room inspections. This will occur even if the roommate(s) of the recently vacated student are present in the room. Students are not able to prevent the staff from inspecting the rooms. Also, the staff will document any policy violation discovered during the inspection of the room.

Additionally, we attached a check-out list to aid you as you prepare to leave your rooms.

If you have any questions about the check-out or room inspection processes, please contact your RLC.

Respectfully,

Walter
