Living at Snow Lion

Roommate Assignments

The Snow Lion staff has taken time to consider the lifestyle choices that you fill out on your application and place you with roommates and housemates of similar interests (when possible). A transfer of rooms and or apartments can be made within certain guidelines. We recommend that your first priority is to learn to live with your assigned roommates and apartment mates. There is a great deal of learning possible in cultivating the capacity to live with a wide range of people. We often find that whatever the issue is in the situation, it tends to “follow” you to the next situation. Further, there is also a great deal of transition already occurring in terms of adjusting to college, Naropa culture specifically, and we truly recommend building on what you have. However, we also realize that change may be necessary. Transfers can occur under the following criteria:

• One transfer per semester is allowed. Transfers are only allowed during the week of orientation and during the last week of the fall semester.
• If the transfer is due to an interpersonal conflict, a formal mediation must have first been attempted.
• All parties affected by the switch must be in agreement. This includes the old and new room/apartment mates.
• The Director of Housing may mandate a switch in emergency situations.

The process is:

• Fill out the roommate transfer form (found in the Snow Lion office) *forms that are not filled out completely will not be considered
• Obtain signatures from all affected parties (the old, and new roommates and RHD or Director of Housing)
• Turn in keys to Snow Lion office and get new keys *this must be done through the office and not resident to resident
