Accommodation details

Generally, prospective residents are assigned a housing space prior to check-in. These assignments consist of a room type, corresponding room rate, and a period of occupancy. Specific rooms are assigned upon check-in. In some cases, original room types may change at the time of check-in. Each room has a corresponding rate based on a general room type structure. All assignments and fees are subject to change without notice. Residents are required to attend all mandatory meetings. Failure to comply with these meetings may result in loss of visitation as deemed appropriate by the Community Director. Each Residence Hall is equipped with seminar rooms and/or recreation space. Generally, special program initiatives are sponsored in these locations. If staff/students wish to reserve use of the seminar room or lounge spaces, special reservation forms must be completed and approved by the Community Director.
