Student Accounts - Room and Board Charges

The request for on-campus residence is made on the same form used for application for admission to the University. After the student has completed the admission procedure and has paid the matriculation deposit, the residency request is referred automatically to the Director of Residence Life. The request is processed and necessary application forms are forwarded to the student.

The University requires that a prepayment of $300, which is applicable to the following semester's room and board account, accompany all applications for room reservations or renewals. This prepayment is non-refundable.

Reservations are made on a semester basis - August to December, January to May. Rooms may be occupied no earlier than the first day of orientation for all freshmen and new transfer students. Room assignments are made on a first-come, first-serve basis. Therefore, it is extremely important for the student to return his/her housing application immediately upon receipt of it. Over-crowded conditions have occurred in the past and students have been temporarily assigned three to a room or in lounges. Therefore, students returning their applications after all rooms have been assigned will be housed in temporary housing, be placed on a waiting list, or not assigned a space in the residence area.

All students occupying rooms in the University residence halls are required to take a University Meal Plan. The Primary Plan billed to all students is a 14 meal plan. Also, included with the Primary Plan is a $135 flexible spending account which can be used at Rockwell Expressway, Options, Off Ramp, and the in room pizza delivery program.

Residence Halls are closed during vacation periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Spring break). The University reserves the right to modify these charges if exigencies require such action.

A resident student must notify the Assistant Director of Residence Life in advance of the planned withdrawal.

No refund of room charges will be made where withdrawal occurs after the opening classes.

In the event of withdrawal, board will be refunded at the rate of 75 percent of the balance remaining on the student's meal plan, up until mid-semester. After the midsemester point, no refund will be made. No reduction of charges nor refund of payments to which a student may have been otherwise entitled will be made if withdrawal is not in accordance with the official withdrawal procedure.

No student is permitted to remain in the residence halls after academic withdrawal from the University has been completed
