Housing Helpful Hints

When you send in your housing application and deposit, you are placed on the waiting list for the semester you apply for. The list is first come, first serve.

A deposit of $200 will cover a residence hall or a $300 deposit will cover the apartment and/or residence hall. This deposit is refundable if you follow the procedures for cancellation.

Be sure to fill out the housing application completely. Mark which hall and meal plan you would prefer. Please check the telephone item on the application. If you want to room with someone specific, be sure to put his/her name and a social security number on the application.

Be sure to tell the person you would like to live with to do the same by putting your name and social security number on his/her application. This does not guarantee your living together, but it improves your chances.

The most important detail is to APPLY EARLY! The earlier you send in the money, the better chance you have of getting the residence hall or apartment of your choice. Remember that you must send the application and deposit together to be placed on the list. Sending an application by itself will not place you on the list.
