Returning Student Discount

The Returning Student Discount program reduces the cost for traditional residence hall room and board. To qualify for a returning student discount (see chart below), you must meet the following two conditions:

  1. Live in the residence halls for the entire spring semester of the prior academic year, and
  2. Live in the residence halls for the entire academic year represented by this contract.
The Returning Student Discount credit is associated with your assignment at the time the discount is posted. Returning student discounts will be applied to the centralized billing account as follows:

Billing Plan 1: applied in February
Billing Plan 2: applied in March

The Returning Student Discount program is renewable by University Housing on an annual basis.
