<p>First of all, I’d suggest that the students give the assignment a chance. Things may work out over time to a satisfactory degree. Even if your child is moved there’s no guarantee the new roommate will be more compatible. </p>
<p>If that does not work the university has a process to resolve issues between roommates:</p>
<p>*What happens when roommates do not get along?</p>
<p>Each resident brings with him or her a different set of expectations. To encourage open communication, all residents discuss and sign a roommate contract at the beginning of the fall term and any time there is a change in residence status in the room. When roommates are unable to resolve a situation on their own, a mediator is called upon to help. In mediation, an objective person, usually a University Housing staff member, acts as a referee to ensure that strong feelings do not hinder the process and that roommates follow the rules. In the extreme cases in which mediation fails, arbitration will be used. In this process roommates agree beforehand to honor the arbitrator’s decision. This binding decision may entail one or more roommates moving to another room. Students requesting to move to another room are obligated to their current room assignment until University Housing is able to find space available to accommodate the move.*</p>
