Residence Hall Security Fee
A $100.00 security deposit per resident student, payable upon a student’s initial registration, is
charged. If damage to or loss of property is caused by the occupants of a specific room, those
occupants will be billed for the damage or loss. If responsibility for the damage or loss cannot be
determined, the cost of repairs or replacement will be billed to all occupants of the buildings on a
pro-rata basis. At the end of each year, non-returning students, upon request, will be refunded the
deposit.

Residence Hall Living Costs
Students who live on campus after the first day of classes are required to pay the entire room and
board fee. If a student must leave the University because of extenuating circumstances, he/she is
required to complete a Contract Cancellation Form for review by the Central Residence Life Office.
If it is approved, the student will be charged for room and prorated for board charges. Approved
cancellation requests submitted by the last day of Fall semester classes for release from Spring
semester charges will not be charged a severance fee. If the request is denied, charges will be
assessed for the entire room.

Adjustments for board fees are provided for residents who student-teach or are away from
campus for more than fifteen (15) days to participate in University-approved activities. To secure
the adjustment, a written request for approval must be submitted to the Vice President for
Student Affairs. No adjustments or refunds will be provided for meal plans after mid-term or the
eighth week of classes, whichever comes first.
