Do you already have your dorm room assignment?

If this was a randomly assigned roommate and you are ok with another randomly assigned roommate, probably last minute or even after the semester starts as they pull from forced triples, then do nothing.

If this was not a randomly assigned roommate, then go back to the source where you found your original roommate and find someone else. Then get them on your rooming group and/or whatever else you have to do to make it official.

Finding another roommate immediately is not at all out of line here. Depending on your previous relationship with your potential roommate, the parents may well have let you know in part so that you could move forward with other arrangements. You do not have to wait for the parents to talk to the school to get the ball rolling on your end.
