Housing Fees

Frequently Asked Questions About Housing Fees

  1. What are the room and board costs for the school year?

    Room and board costs vary depending on the type of accommodation and food service plan selected (see table below). Specific information on housing costs will be included with the Housing License Agreement.

  2. Can financial aid be used to cover housing payments?

    Yes; however, financial aid cannot be used for the initial payment. The university applies your aid first to registration fees, second to housing payments and third to any other outstanding payments that may be due.

  3. Will my aid cover all college expenses?

    No. Very few students receive enough aid to cover all expenses. So, expect to cover some expenses yourself.

  4. May I use loan money towards housing?

    Yes; however, loans cannot be used for the initial payment. The university applies your loans first to registration fees, second to housing payments and third to any other outstanding payments that may be due.

  5. How can I find additional information on financial aid?

    You may contact the Financial Aid Office at (562) 985-4641.
