Rates

Housing and Food Services semester rates are approved annually by the Board of Trustees. Housing and food charges are posted to the student's LionPATH account at the beginning of summer (if applicable), fall, and spring semesters. The Office of the Bursar manages billing statements and processing payments.

All cost of attendance elements can be viewed at University Budget Office’s “Tuition and Fees” schedules.

Campus Meal Plan Rates

Undergraduate students living in the residence halls must purchase a Campus Meal Plan for each semester (fall and spring) as part of the Housing and Food Service Contract. The HFS Contract includes Campus Meal Plan level 2 by default; students can change their level in eLiving at any time until the Friday of final exams.
