How do I apply for housing?
Easy, you just need to fill out a housing application card and make your $100.00 deposit. You can do it in person, at the housing office (Bernard Hall, Room 201), by mail, or you can get the application by clicking here and pay your deposit here. There is not a deadline for applying but we encourage you to apply early so that we have opportunities to meet your needs.
What is a housing lease?
Just like a lease for an apartment, the housing lease lists the terms and conditions of the agreement. You must sign a nine month lease in order to live on campus.
What does the housing deposit do?
The deposit serves three purposes: guarantees your room, insures against damages, and makes sure you properly check out with housing staff.
Will I get the deposit back?
Provided you are not returning to housing, you do not have any damages, and you have checked out properly, you will get your deposit back.
When will I find out my room assignment?
This depends on when you apply for housing. The earliest assignments go out the first week of June.
If I don't like my residence hall or room can I change?
Yes, you may change rooms when or if spaces are available. Room changes take place after the first two weeks of classes. You have to see your hall coordinator to change rooms or buildings.
What if I don't like my roommate?
Again, roommate changes take place after the first two weeks of classes.
What happens if my roommate never moves in?
You have three options: 1) You may find another student to move in with you. 2) You may move into a room with another resident within the hall or another hall. 3) You may be able to keep your room as a private room provided there are enough rooms for all students. Private rooms for freshman are not available during their first semester.
Is it a good idea for me to talk to my roommate before I move in?
YES! Conversing with your roommate whether it be by phone, letter, or email is a great idea. It lets you get to know the person and also provides a way for you to decide who is bringing what.
Can I decorate my room?
Your room is your home, at least for nine months, so you can decorate within reason. Plants, carpets, rugs, posters, fish in small aquariums, and such. Keep in mind that the furniture must remain the same as when you arrived or you will be charged for damages.
Is there on campus parking?
Yes there is on campus parking, but you are required to purchase a parking decal from the university police department.
