However, extra charges will be implemented for processing any credit card payment starting at a $15.00 fee. Fees are subject to increase depending on the amount you are attempting to pay towards your university account. Generally, residents pay for their housing fees with either a check or a money order to the Bursar’s office. Exact amounts that are due to the university can be found on our students’ Ulink accounts.

We do not take deposits. A non-refundable Application Fee and service fee of $175.00 is due at the time that you submit your application.

However, the closer it gets to move-in it becomes more difficult to accommodate these requests so any requests cannot be guaranteed.

Just like with any other housing facilities, the license is a binding contract. However, if a special circumstance arises then a resident may fill out a lease cancellation form online.
