Housing Deposits

Students in residence at the college may renew their room reservations annually, before February 28, by making a deposit of $300.

Deposits are non-refundable, However, they appear on the current billing statement to offset the cost of room and board charges.

Dorm Damage Deposit

A portion of a first-time resident student’s housing deposit ($100) is withheld to offset any dorm damage charges. This deposit ensures adherence to the terms and conditions of the housing agreement, and return of the unit to its original condition when the student exits the space.

The deposit is not a damage fund where intermittent damage charge deductions occur during the course of the student's residency; however, any damage charges incurred during the final year of residency are deducted from the deposit, with any remaining credit refunded to the student.
