Housing Deposits

Residential students are required to submit a housing deposit before moving on to campus. This deposit rolls over from one year to the next, for as long as the student continues to live on campus. Once a student moves off campus, the deposit is credited back to the student, pending no damage or lost key charges. Housing deposits must be paid in order to be cleared for KnightQuest. Students must be KnightQuest cleared before arriving to campus. All housing and undergraduate enrollment deposits can be paid here. 

Housing deposit amounts differ based on 21st Century Scholar status and residential location.  All deposit prices are per student.  Prices beginning in the 2025-26 academic year:
