2019-2020 Shepherd University Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Room and Board


Payment

Room and board charges must be paid in full at the time of registration. Once a room has been occupied, the student is responsible for room charges for the entire semester or summer term. In accordance with the Resident Agreement, no room charges will be refunded when a student withdraws from housing. Students who withdraw from campus after the first day of classes will have meal charges prorated on a weekly basis, but no deduction will be made for room charges. Allow four to six weeks for refunds following the date of withdrawal from the university. All board refunds must be authorized by the director of residence life or designee.

For new freshman, transfer, and continuing students, applications to be released from the residency requirement or housing agreement must be submitted through the “Good Living” Residence Life portal.  Please note that these applications do not guarantee approval as students must meet certain criteria, as established in the Resident Agreement. The housing deposit is forfeited for any student approved for a release from the residency requirement or the Resident Agreement. Charges continue to accrue until the application is submitted and approved.
