How do I apply for housing?
New students who would like live on campus during the school year must complete a housing contract. The contract may be downloaded here and mailed to the residence life office along with a $50 housing deposit.
Am I required to be on a meal plan?
Yes. All students living on campus are required to purchase a meal plan. When you arrive on campus during move-in day you will be asked to select your meal plan.
May I request a roommate?
Yes. On the housing contract you will be asked to identify a preferred roommate (of the same gender). We will make every effort to honor your request. If you do not list a roommate preference, you will be placed with another student based on the lifestyle preferences listed on your housing contract.
May I request a private room?
Yes. Private rooms are available for upperclassmen on a limited basis. A fee of $500 per semester will be assessed. Private rooms, when available, will be awarded based on seniority.
When will I receive my room assignment?
New student assignments are typically made in July. Assignments are based on the date the application and deposit are received. Assignment letters are sent by mail.
What if my roommate is different than I requested?
We make every effort to match you with a roommate based on the information you provide on the housing contract. Limited space is available, so we are not always able to change your housing assignment. After the school year begins, a student may contact the hall director to request a change.
Where may I do my laundry?
Each hall has a laundry room equipped with coin-operated washers and dryers.
Where do I receive my mail?
