Housing Sign-Ups Information for 2013-2014
Step 1: Housing Registration Pre-Payment (Required for Lottery)
Prior to reserving a room or participating in the annual housing sign up process, current students must pay a $100 housing registration pre-payment. This payment must be paid in full and cannot be charged to the student account. The pre-payment is non-refundable (except in the unlikely event that campus housing is unavailable) and will be applied to the fall semester housing charges upon occupancy. All housing pre-payments should be made online through the Residence Life webpage.
*Please note: Students who have not paid the housing registration pre-payment will not be allowed to participate in the housing lottery drawing, sign up for housing or be “tentatively” signed up by another individual during housing sign-ups.
