What is an installment?
The typical lease term is approximately 9.5 months of occupancy which coincides with the university’s academic calendar. The resident is charged a total rent amount for the contracted occupancy period. The lease agreement will reflect the total rent amount typically divided into 8 equal installments due August 1 - May 1. These installments do not represent a monthly rent amount and are not prorated.
When are the installments due?
Installments are due on the 1st of each month per the payment schedule outlined in the lease agreement. Payment is considered late if not received by the 5th of each month.

Do you send me a bill every month?
No, bills are not sent to residents each month, but you may see payment reminders posted around the property.
Can I use financial aid or my scholarship to pay my rental installment?
Yes, once all obligations owed to the university have been paid in full, you may use any remaining funds to pay for housing.
