Housing Requests

You can rent or return bed pieces at the Office of Residence Life front desk in Residential Commons 2. You must always have at least two people participating in all furniture adjustments. All lofts must have safety rails attached at all times with one side against a wall.

Availability

Loft Kit requests will be available for the Fall 2025 semester. Loft Kit requests will open in the Summer.

• Once Loft Kits are issued a refund will not be given.
• Loft Kits must be returned at the end of the semester even if you have renewed your room.  

Submit Request

Submit your request in the Res Life Portal. To log in, simply click ‘Sign In’ on the landing page, and then select the button labeled ‘LIBERTY – Student SSO Login’ to log in to the portal with your regular Liberty credentials. Then, select ‘Loft Kit Request’ from the menu to begin.

Details

Requests will be approved based on inventory. Residence Life will install your kit prior to your arrival to campus. Your loft kit rental is good throughout the duration of the academic year. While you may request to have the loft kit professionally installed, you may also choose to install it yourself. See the section on Furniture Adjustments above for more information and video instructions for self-installation. All bunks and lofts must have safety rails attached at all times with one side against a wall. At the end of the academic year, you will be responsible to return your loft kit to the designated location assigned to you.

To submit an Overnight Visitor Request, please complete the Overnight Visitor Request form in the Res Life Portal.

Requests must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance. Notice of approval or denial will come to you via email.

According to the On-Campus Living Guide, all overnight visitors:

• Must be of the same gender and be between the ages of 16-25
• Are permitted to stay on campus for a maximum of five nights per semester (whether consecutive or non-consecutive)

Overnight visitors are not permitted during Move-In, finals week, or University breaks.

During the Academic Year

In order to switch rooms with another student during the academic year, both students must submit a Room Change request, specifying “Room Swap” within the request form online, when they are open (see above for instructions and availability). After both requests have been submitted, please allow 2-3 days for processing, and keep in mind that no student is required to change their room assignment once they have secured one.

Over the Summer

In order to switch rooms with another student over the summer (prior to your arrival to campus in the Fall), both students must submit a Room Swap request in the Res Life Portal. For assistance, please review our tutorial (PDF). Please note that:

• Both students wishing to swap rooms must have already selected a housing assignment for the upcoming academic year.
• Both students must complete the request and respond to approval prompts within the Res Life Portal for the request to be finalized.
• Once both students have approved the swap, your room assignments will be automatically switched. If you want to reverse an approved Room Swap, you will each need to create a new Room Swap request and repeat the process for approval.
• Room Swap requests do not apply to your roommates; they apply only to the two individuals directly submitting the request form. If you have a roommate you would like to live with, they will need to select the room separately using the Housing Selection tool in the Res Life Portal, or they may submit a Room Swap request to trade rooms with another resident.
