Bunking/Lofting Options
Bed Configuration Requests: The most popular option for students with shared bedrooms is a
bunked bed configuration, the standard room set-up. If you and your roommate wish to have your
beds lofted or debunked prior to your arrival, you may make this request in advance on-line.
 Lofting/Debunking Request Form
Every effort will be made to honor requests submitted before mid-August.
If you and your roommate prefer to have a bunked bed configuration,
no action is needed. If you have medical conditions which make it
inadvisable to sleep on a top bunk or loft, please discuss with your
roommate the bed configuration that would serve you best. Each roommate
must submit a Loft/Debunking request form.There is no charge for
the first bed configuration requests. A $50.00 charge per
student will
apply for subsequent requests.
Students who currently live on campus need not be
present when staff alter the bed configuration, however all
personal belongings must be removed from the desk, dresser,
beds, and the immediate area near the beds. If rooms are not
prepared accordingly, students may be charged an additional fee.
