Housing Rates for 2018 – 2019

• Single rooms and ALL apartment rooms = $5,528 per semester
  Includes all residence hall singles, all Polo and Martin rooms, and all apartments (including apartment doubles)
• Double rooms = $4,641 per semester
  Excluding apartment doubles – see above
• Triple rooms = $4123 per semester

To participate in room selection, you must pay your $500 tuition deposit. This deposit is not a housing deposit; however, it (along with any outstanding housing-related bills) must be paid to prevent loss of any housing assignment selected during the Room and Dining Selection process.

Loss of the assignment for failure to pay your deposit does not release you from your Residence Hall and Dining Agreement.

Release from Housing and Dining Agreement

All students residing in campus housing must electronically sign
the Housing and Dining Agreement. This is a binding agreement between the University and the student for campus housing and meals during the entire academic year. Any student wishing to be released from the Housing and Dining Agreement must submit a written appeal to the Office of Residence Life and Housing via the online housing portal. Appeals are not automatically granted and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. All students who are approved to be released from housing will automatically be reclassified as non-resident students and forfeit their right to eight semesters of guaranteed on-campus housing.

Students who are scheduled to graduate in December must still be
released from their Housing and Dining Agreement. All petitions for release are due during the spring room change period (dates posted in the fall) to avoid housing charges from accruing on the student’s account. Students should contact the Office of Residence Life and Housing if they have any questions regarding the Housing and Dining Agreement. All students who are approved to be released from their Housing and Dining Agreement and remain registered at the Reynolda Campus
must register their address with the Office of Residence Life and Housing.
