University Housing Rates

Academic year housing contracts are for both the Fall and Spring semesters. Rates include a Residence Hall Association (RHA) activity fee of $12 per semester ($24 per academic year).

Buildings that close during break periods (Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Break) are Blair-Shannon, Freddy, Wells, and Woods. All other buildings remain open throughout the academic year.

Private rooms - when available - come at 1.5 times the standard cost. Private rooms are regular, 2-person rooms complete with two sets of furniture. The second set cannot be removed from the space.

A complete Meal Plan package consists of both Meals-Per-Week and Dining Dollars. A Meal Plan package is required when living in room-style or suite-style housing, but optional for students living in Sunvilla and Monroe.
