Housing Deposit
An initial $300 housing deposit is required to reserve campus housing for residential students. By making the housing deposit, the student and the student’s parent or guardian indicate acceptance of the terms and conditions of the University. No refund of this housing deposit will be granted to any student who withdraws from the University after making this deposit but prior to the start of an academic term.
The housing deposit becomes a refundable room-damage deposit once the student has attended classes and the semester charges have been paid. This deposit remains on account at the University as long as the student resides in University housing. The cost for any damages to the student’s University housing will be deducted from the deposit.
Students are eligible for the refund of their deposit upon departure from campus housing (coinciding with graduation or any move from University housing). In order to qualify for this refund, students must meet all financial obligations to the University, satisfy all outstanding debts, and complete the Residential Check-Out process. Any student wishing to move off campus and receive a refund of the housing deposit must personally notify the Housing Office in writing of plans to move out of University housing. Failure to do so by the date of the last class or exam of the term or prior to vacating campus housing will result in forfeiture of the deposit.
Applications for the refund of the room-damage deposit are available in the Business Office; materials for the residential check out process are available through the Department of Student Development.
