This deposit is refundable in full for the student who has chosen not to or is unable to live in the residence hall and if written notification is given to the admissions office at least two weeks prior to the first session of orientation. Once a student has moved into the residence hall, the security deposit is only refunded if established check-out procedures have been followed. Any room damages and fines attributed to the student will be deducted from this deposit. A student may not register for further sessions, receive any diploma, grades, transcript, letters of recommendation or participate in graduation ceremonies until all financial obligations have been satisfied in accordance with the financial policies. Financial Aid Scholarships Scholarships, based on need and achievement, are available for the spring semester.
Application is made in the fall.
