New Students Spring 2024

Students who are interested in on-campus housing for Spring 2024 will need to pay a non-refundable $40 application fee and complete the online contract in order to participate in the room selection process for the upcoming academic year. You are able to pay in person through the Cashier’s Office, but it may result in a delay in completion of your contract.
