Returning Student Housing
How to Apply for Housing
All students currently residing on-campus must participate in room draw if they wish to reserve a room for the new academic year. The $300 deposit for room draw is non-refundable. Students who miss room draw but submit a request for on-campus housing at a later date will be placed on a wait list for housing, and will only be housed if space is available after all incoming freshmen and transfers have been housed.
To initiate the Housing Application process, current students must complete the Returning Student Housing Application. Room Draw is usually held in early April. During the Spring Semester students are issued a Returning Student Housing Application which they are to complete. Students are required to pay a deposit of $300 to Student Accounts. Students are then to attach the receipt from Student Accounts to their Returning Student Housing Application and return the completed form to the Residence Life Office. Housing deposits are applicable toward room and board only, and are non-refundable if a student withdraws from the residence halls. Room deposits are refundable if a student is dismissed from the College or from the residence halls prior to the start of the Fall Semester.
The Residence Life Office will send the resident students detailed information several weeks prior to room draw. Please note that only full time undergraduates who are taking a minimum of 12 credits are eligible for on-campus housing. Exceptions to this policy may only be authorized by the Director of Residence Life, or by the Vice President and Dean for Student Life.

Room Changes
Room changes can be made twice during the academic year. During the first two weeks of each semester, students may apply for a room change. Students interested in changing rooms are responsible for negotiating their own room changes, and any changes must be agreeable to all parties involved. Prior to any changes being approved, all parties involved must meet with the Director of Residence Life to fill out the appropriate paperwork. Only in special personal circumstances will changes be authorized at other times of the year.
Please also be aware that if you are interested in changing rooms due to a roommate conflict, your Resident Assistant has been trained to mediate such conflicts, and thereby save you the time and effort involved in a room change.
