New Incoming Students only
Admitted students will automatically receive a Guide to Student Housing and Dining. Included in this mailing is the residential agreement card in which either the full payment (as shown below) or the first installment plan payment will need to be made on or before the indicated due date.
You may also submit a preference form indicating your desired halls, roommate (if any) and meal plan. We will attempt to honor preferences, however, we cannot
guarantee assignment to a particular hall or roommate. Single rooms are in high demand and are typically awarded to continuing
on-campus students.
