If I change my mind about living on campus, do I get my deposit back?
The Room Reservation Fee of $150.00 is non-refundable and Damage Deposit of $150.00 is refundable. The room reservation fee is a down payment on your tuition. Students who withdraw from the university will not receive that fee back. For students who receive a housing assignment and would like to cancel must do so prior to May 15 (Fall) and November 15 (Spring) or risk room and board charges. Please see your Housing and Food Service Terms and Conditions for more details.
Where can I obtain an Application for Housing?
The online housing process is divided into (3) steps for Returning Students
Step 1: Submit your online housing application between February 27- March 27
Step 2: See your lottery number time in MyHousing April 3
Step 3: Complete the room selection process between April 5- April 18 (you must have paid your fees and registered for classes)
The housing process is divided into (2) step for New Students.
Step 1: Complete the paper application and submit fees before May 1 for Fall 2012 and November 1 for Spring 2013.
Step 2: Housing officials will assign those students who have paid their fees, completed an application and are enrolled.
First time students can not select a roommate or residence hall. The housing office makes all assignments for new students. Returning students are able to select their roommate following the online room selection process.
What if I change my mind and want a room change?
Once an assignment is made it will be considered final. Students may request room changes during the Room Change Period, which begins shortly after the conclusion of the Validation Process, generally 2-3 weeks into the semester.
What if I change my mind and need to cancel my housing assignment?
- Students who need to cancel their housing assignment must do so writing by May16, 2012. Canceling this agreement after the stated deadline will result in prorated charges according to the date the assignment is dropped or full charges if canceled after the fifth day of class.
When can I move into my residence hall? Is there a deadline for me to sign in?
Failure to claim a room assignment by the designated date(s) will result in the student automatically forfeiting their room assignment, without notice, and possibly the right to a reassignment during that term.
