Section IV: Expenses and Financial Assistance

Room and Board

Payment
Room and board charges must be paid in full at the time of registration. Private room rentals are subject to room availability and authorization of dean of student affairs. Private room cost is one and one-half times the double occupancy rate. Once a room has been occupied, the student is liable for rent for the entire semester or summer term. In accordance with the residence hall contract, no room rent will be refunded when a student withdraws from the University. Students absent from campus seven or more consecutive days because of illness or other excused reason will not be charged for meals, but no deduction will be made from room rental during the absence. Board payment will be refunded four to six weeks following the date of withdrawal from the University. All room deposits and board refunds must be authorized by the dean of student affairs. For new freshman, transfers, and continuing students, notice of cancellation of room reservation must be received in the Office of Student Affairs by May 31 for the fall semester or by December 1 for the spring semester. Failure to meet this deadline will result in forfeiture of the room deposit.
