If you are an undergraduate student under the age of 22 and choose to live with your parents, you must complete and sign a community residential application (a parent must come to the Student Life office to sign this form).
Students who plan to reside in one of our on-campus residence halls will need to submit a residence hall application. To complete your application, you will need to submit a $250 room deposit, which is refundable when you move out of the residence hall.
