Consolidation At the beginning of each semester, Housing and Residence Life initiates a process called consolidation.

During this time, students living in University housing units that are not fully occupied are moved to new locations to maintain full occupancy in as many facilities as possible. There are many reasons for this process. First, it allows HRL to begin refurbishing units that are emptied prior to the summer, thereby allowing for a smoother transition from spring to summer housing.

Second, it allows the discontinued use of appliances and electricity in these units, thereby saving valuable resources for students. Third, it keeps the living arrangements for all housing residents equitable.

If you wish to retain lower occupancy of an apartment or suite, you must make your request in writing and pay all additional fees. Students who refuse to consolidate will be charged the single bedroom fee. Consolidation will begin after the 12th class day of each semester.
