In addition to submitting a residence hall housing application, students must sign a 2025-26 Room & Dining contract. The contract will be available after selecting a room, and is required to secure a space on campus.
The $1,200 room rate discount is available only to students who lived in a residence hall during the 2024-25 academic year. This discount will be applied to student accounts once per academic term in the amount of $400. If a student moves out of the halls mid-term/year and breaks their contract this discount is forfeited.
Transfer students from other institutions, new students and students applying to the Gem or 1045 SW Madison Ave. are not eligible for the returning resident discount.
Dining Plan 5 is available only to returning on-campus residents. This dining plan is $2,400/year ($800/term) for the 2024-25 academic year (2025-26 dining plan rates will be released in spring 2025). In addition, students living on campus continue to receive discounts on purchases made with their dining plan, and can continue to spend any rollover balance they have remaining from the previous year. Dining plans are not available to residents of the Gem or 1045 SW Madison Ave.
