Additionally, the student may still be required to relocate, as their change could affect other residents&#8217; approved room assignments. Once a room change has been approved, cancellations cannot occur, as this could impact other residents who have also been approved for a room change.<\/li>\n<li>Room change requests are not guaranteed, as they are contingent upon the availability of suitable spaces at the time of placement for each resident.<\/li>\n<li>The Room Change Process <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>does not<\/strong><\/span> operate on a first-come, first-served basis for form submissions. Therefore, students are encouraged to carefully complete the form. In the event of conflicting requests, priority may be given based on the highest earned credits.<\/li>\n<li>Please note that it is the resident&#8217;s responsibility to review room and board costs, which are posted on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/student-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office of Student Accounts website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prohibited Items:<\/strong> Residents in traditional residence halls, Bischoff Hall, Laurel Hall, Mackin Hall, The Overlook and Pine Hall, are not allowed to have household appliances, as outlined in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/reslife\/prohibited\/\">prohibited items list<\/a>. However, residents of The College Park Apartments and The Village may use most household appliances.
