Room types may vary by residential facility. Rates are per person.
Students have the option of paying their housing and dining fees in one payment each quarter, or having their quarterly charges divided into installments due on the monthly due dates of each quarter. Unless a payment plan is requested, housing and dining charges are billed and full payment is due in one payment on the first due date of each quarter.
Seventy-five (75) mandatory Slug Points are required with each Unlimited meal plan. These Slug Points are billed separately and charges are due at the beginning of each quarter. Quarterly and annual rates displayed are inclusive of these Slug Points. If you select an Unlimited meal plan and the monthly billing option, the first monthly bill of each quarter will include the seventy-five (75) mandatory Slug Points as those charges are due at the beginning of each quarter.
