Questions & Answers about kouishitsu de seifuku ni kigaeru koto ni natte imasu.
In standard modern Japanese, it should normally be 着替える. So the sentence would usually be written:
更衣室で制服に着替えることになっています。
着替える is the dictionary form of the verb meaning to change clothes or to change into something.
V-ることになっています means it has been decided that..., it is مقرر / arranged that..., or it is the rule that....
So here, it does not sound like a personal choice. It sounds like an established rule, procedure, or arrangement. In context, it means something like:
It is the rule that you change into your uniform in the changing room.
Because the verb comes before こと, and before こと you normally use the plain form.
So:
- 着替えること = changing into... / the act of changing into...
- not 着替えますこと
The sentence becomes polite at the end with なっています.
