How are students billed for On Campus Housing?
Students are billed through their University student account at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters.
When is payment due each semester?
Payment is either due in full by the stated payment deadline for that semester, or students can set up a payment plan with the Cashier's Office. Unless definite arrangements for payment have been made with the Cashier's Office a late fee of $75 will be posted to accounts not paid by the payment deadline.
What type of payment plans are available?
The Cashier's Office offers installment plans to students for a nominal set up fee. Two, three, and four month installment plans are available to assist students in paying for their university-related expenses.
What bills are covered in my rent?
The University will pay all charges for water, extended basic cable, internet, and electricity during the duration of the contract. However, if the electricity bill continues to exceed the cap set by the University, the overage may be evenly divided between the occupants of the student apartment.
What happens to the non-refundable application fee?
The application fee is used to process the application, as well as helping to fund programming for on campus residents.
What happens if I am not assigned a room?
If the Office of Housing and Residential Life is unable to assign you a room you will be placed on a waiting list until one becomes available.
