Room changes can occur at any point before or after move in, as long as there is a vacant room available.
Room Changes Prior to August 1, 2013
Students who have bookings for 2013-2014 may change their room in two ways:
- Room Swap
- All of the vacant rooms can be seen in the Room Swap function of HAHLS
- The list of available rooms in Room Swap will change on a daily basis as students cancel and select rooms
- The Room Swap function allows students to swap their current room for any vacant room on campus
- To access Room Swap
- Log in to HAHLS
- Select “Application” from the top navigation
- On the Term Selector page, choose Academic Year 2013-2014
- Choose Room Swap from the numbered navigation line toward the top of the page
- Shop & Swap
- The Shop & Swap function allows students to swap rooms with another student who also has a room
- To access Shop & Swap
- Log in to HAHLS
- Select “Shop & Swap” from the top navigation
- Students may use Shop & Swap and Room Swap at the same time
- Room Swap and Shop & Swap will both close on August 1, 2013
- Students may chance rooms using Shop & Swap and/or Room Swap as many times as they would like prior to August 1, 2013
- If you change rooms using Shop & Swap or Room Swap, you will not resign your contract. Instead, finalizing a swap using either of these functions constitutes as a binding addeundum to your original housing contract.
- There is no fee associated with changing a room
- If you move into a more expensive room, you will be billed the additional amount
- If you move into a less expensive room, you will be credited the difference
Room Change After August 1, 2013
If you would like to change your room after August 1, 2013, please contact housing@law.harvard.edu with your request. Please note that you are welcome to change rooms anytime after move in as well.
