Q: Do I need to pay the $100.00 security deposit in order to apply?
A: Yes. Your application will not be considered until you pay.
Q: I was told that I was on a wait list, what should I do?
A: Because of the uncertainty of applicants cancelling, we recommend that you begin looking for off-campus housing. Should a room become available for you, we will contact you.
Q: How do I cancel my application?
A: Contact our office by email or in person. Please consider that you may be charged a cancellation fee and/or a percentage of the semester's housing in accordance with the housing contract.
Q: May I change my room type on the application (i.e. from Single to Double, Non-Air con to Air-con)?
A: Possibly. Your initial room reservation was considered with your initial room type and the date on which you submitted it. Any change will affect your application date and may affect your room offer. Additionally, changes made after check-in date will affect your billing charges.
Q: May I request a roommate on my application?
A: Yes. However, the roommate you are requesting must also request you on his/her application for it to be considered.
