We will do our best to accommodate your requests.<\/p>\n Dear Residence Life Team,<\/p>\n My name is FIRST NAME, LAST NAME and my CWID IS M123456789. I am aware of a vacancy that will become available for the spring semester in my room\/suite\/apartment. I would like to pull in FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, CWID NUMBER M123456789 into the space. They are copied on this email.<\/p>\n Please let us know if this can be completed. We appreciate your help!<\/p>\n If you are looking to be pulled into a space, you will need to create a Roommate Code in RMS prior to selection. This is to protect the students by not disclosing personal information (including their CWID number) to other students, and instead, create a specified code that will only work for this purpose. In order to create a roommate code, you must complete the below process before the housing selection process begins. This process is usually available the same week as housing selection begins.<\/p>\n The roommate code process is only for students who need to be pulled in.<\/p>\n If you are dissatisfied with your housing selection, you will have the opportunity to log into RMS and complete the Room Change process. The room change process will be designed to allow you to select a different housing assignment after you have made your initial selection. The Room Change Process will be available to students until a date designated by the Office of Residence Life. Room change processes are only for the student completing them. You will not be eligible to pull in another roommate during this process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n If you have any further questions, you may visit our central office in Bohn Hall 4th Floor, send an email to reslife@montclair.edu<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or contact us at\u00a0973-655-5188.<\/p>\nHousing Selection Priority Status<\/strong><\/h3>\n
