The Office of Housing and Residence Life will review the request and notify the student if approved or denied.

Summer fees (May intersession, Summer A only, Summer A & B are due by June 1, 2023; Summer B only, fees are due July 14, 2023.) You MUST review your housing bill in April/May and follow the payment dates outlined on your student account to avoid late fees. Late fees are applied monthly for past-due balances. All fees must be paid in full prior to a student’s arrival on campus.
WHAT IF I FAIL TO MEET THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA?
Students must meet the eligibility criteria throughout the entire Summer Housing Application Process. Any attempt to make the initial payment with an outstanding balance will not be reflected as an initial payment, instead, it will be applied to the outstanding balance. Housing and Residence Life reserves the right to cancel a student’s application and room reservation if the student defaults on payments, meeting sanctions, has a conduct issue or does not meet the enrollment eligibility criteria.
CAN I GET MY $40 APPLICATION/DEPOSIT PAYMENT BACK? WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?
Students are responsible for submitting a written cancellation request to The Office of Housing and Residence Life no later than the official cancellation date. This date is set to accommodate the required 15-day notification process outlined in our Housing License Agreement. If approved for cancellation, all fees, with exception of the $40 (non-refundable) application fee, will be credited to the Licensee’s student account. Students who fail to complete a cancellation form by the deadline may incur a $50 cancellation fee. Students that submit their cancellation request with less than the required 15-day notification will be assessed a prorated room charge. Please read your Summer Housing License Agreement for full details.
