This deposit is in addition to the required $200 tuition deposit for first-year students. The application cannot be processed without the deposit. Once an assignment has been made, the $500 deposit is applied towards housing fees. When completing the application, we ask applicants to please be truthful when answering the questions. If a specific roommate is requested, both parties must request each other in order for the request to be considered. For first-year students, all housing applications and deposits are due by May for the fall and December for the spring semester. Housing and preference requests are assigned on a first-come basis and are not guaranteed.

In early June, the application will be processed. At that time, students will receive a residence hall assignment and more information about housing.
