Housing Registration Pre-Payment:
Prior to reserving a room or participating in the annual housing sign up process,
returning
students must pay a $100 housing pre-payment. (NOTICE:
The housing pre-payment will increase to $200 for the 2014-15 academic year.)
This payment must be paid in full and cannot be charged to the student account.
This pre-payment is non-refundable (except in the unlikely event that campus housing is unavailable) and will be applied to the fall semester housing charge upon occupancy. All housing pre-payments should be made online through the Residence Life webpage.
Housing Requirement:
We believe students experience greater personal and educational growth in campus housing. Therefore,
Anderson University requires all freshman and sophomore students to live in campus housing
unless the student meets one of the criteria listed under the "Residence Policy" in the Student Handbooklocated in the Student Life section of the University website.A residency appeal form may be obtained from the Residence Life website or office. The appeal must be submitted to Residence Life byMay 1st
to be considered for review. Students living off campus who do not meet the proper criteria may be subject to disciplinary action and held financially responsible for the semester housing charge regardless of their current physical residence.
Assignment:
Housing assignments for
new students
are processed on a "first come, first served" basis according to the date in which a student’s enrollment deposit was received. Assignments for returning students will be made in the spring semester during the annual housing sign-up process.
Returning students who do not participate in the spring housing sign-up process will be placed on a waiting list to be assigned as space becomes available. The Residence Life Office reserves the right to reassign or consolidate residential students at any time if it is found to be in the best interest of the University. The University also reserves the right to assign students to temporary accommodations in the event that occupancy is exceeded.
