Housing Assignment Information
Isaac Torres
Director of University Housing
Welcome
On behalf of the Student Life staff, welcome to University housing!
We are glad that you decided to make Saint Xavier's residential community your new home. Whether you are moving to campus for the first time or are returning to University housing, the Student Life staff would like to make your transition to campus living a success. This guide contains helpful information that will answer most of your questions about moving onto campus. We look forward to seeing you in the halls soon!
Housing Assignment Details
Your housing assignment information, including hall, room and roommate, can be obtained by logging into eRezLife and navigating through "my profile and assignment" information. Please feel free to contact your roommate(s) to discuss move-in details. The University Housing staff made every attempt to meet your preferences; however, all assignments were based on availability.
Should you have difficulty logging into eRezLife or your SXU email, contact HubChat or password reset for assistance with your netID and password.
Room Change Requests
Room and roommate assignments are typically not changed prior to student move-in. A room-change period will take place during the third week of the semester. Students are required to submit a Room Change Request Form through eRezLife to begin the room change process. The student who initiates the room change will typically be required to move. Unless the living environment is deemed by SXU staff to not be conducive to academic success, or the environment poses a threat to a student's well-being, each student will be allowed to change rooms once during the academic year
