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.

Each time a purchase is made, those dollars are subtracted from the balance on their BearPass Student ID. Dining Dollars are accepted at any dining location on campus and carry over from summer to fall and from fall to spring. Each plan below comes with an amount of bonus dollars!
