What does converted housing
mean for me?
Converted housing rooms are adapted for an
additional roommate prior to move-in day.
• These rooms are able to accommodate the
number of people assigned.
• All residents will receive the same amenities
and furniture (see inside).
• Residents can rearrange furniture in a
manner comfortable for all roommates,
but they must keep all university-provided
furnishings within the room.
• Typically, converted housing assignments
are not based on timing of application
but rather accommodating requested
preferences (e.g., roommate request or
building request).

Introduction to Converted Housing
What is converted housing? Converted
housing is designated rooms, often larger
than standard rooms, that are utilized for an
additional resident. More than 300 residents
are part of the converted housing program at
the beginning of the academic year.
Converted housing residents often have
questions, and we are here to help. If you have
additional questions, we encourage you to call
our offices at (773) 325-7196 to speak to a
housing assignments coordinator.
The Benefits of Converted Housing:
•
•
•
Converted housing allows more DePaul
University
first-year
students
the
opportunity to take advantage of living in
on-campus housing at the beginning of the
academic year.
All students who are assigned to converted
housing are considered permanent
residents of that room and are not required
to move during the academic year. Should
you request a move, that request will
be processed ahead of regular room
change requests as space permits. Room
change requests can be made beginning
September 26.
Residents living in converted housing
receive a 20 percent housing credit (see
below for additional details)
Converted Housing Credit
Converted housing residents will be issued
credits with the following standards:
• A 20 percent credit will be given to all
converted housing residents for the time
period when an additional resident is
assigned to the room. Credits will be
issued at the end of each quarter.
