Housing Deposit Information

Incoming Residential Students:

Housing deposits ($250) will be accepted to secure a student’s spot in our residential facilities. This housing deposit will be applied to the students first semester charges.  We will no longer escrow the housing deposit. If a student chooses to cancel their enrollment prior to May 1, the housing deposit will be refunded to the student. If a student chooses to cancel their enrollment after May 1, the housing deposit is forfeited.


Commuter Students:

Additionally, a housing deposit will be required of any non-residential students (commuter/off-campus) who wish to apply for housing at any point. Commuter/off-campus students who desire on-campus housing must first pay a $250 housing deposit  and complete a housing application in . A commuter/off-campus student will be assigned housing only after room selection for current resident students is complete and pending space availability. In the event there is lack of room availability, housing deposits will be refunded. If a student requests placement on a housing waiting list, the deposit will not be refunded or applied to current debt until removal from the housing waiting list is requested.  After a commuter/off-campus student is assigned housing, if a student chooses to cancel their housing request prior to May 1, the housing deposit will be refunded to the student.  If a student chooses to cancel their enrollment after May 1, the housing deposit is forfeited.  If the commuter/off-campus student is offered housing, the deposit will be applied to the students first semester charges. 


Residential Students Prior to August 2023:

Any students who have entered into a residential life contract prior to fall 2024 will continue to have their housing deposit ($250) held in escrow until the housing contract is fulfilled, as expressed below.  Students will also have the option to donate their escrowed housing deposit to the Hope Fund, unless there is an outstanding balance due to ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥. Housing deposits will be processed as follows:

  • Held in an escrow account until housing contract fulfilled.
  • Returned to the student if the student does not receive housing for the following year or chooses not to return within stated housing selection deadlines. Deposit will not be returned if the student has an outstanding balance with the university.
  • Forfeited by those students who communicate after the housing selection process deadline, that they will not be returning to ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥ or have chosen to live off campus. See the Student Handbook for details.
