Submitting the Housing Contract

Beginning February 1, eligible students may submit the $200 housing deposit online through the Portal.

PLEASE NOTE
The deadline for submission of the housing contract and $200 deposit is 12:00 p.m. on February 26. Students who do not submit the contract and deposit may be delayed in selecting housing, will have limited housing options or may be unable to select housing until returning and new students (who apply on time) are assigned.

If you are unsure, check eligibility. Also, make sure to understand the Housing Contract terms and releases.
