Message from the Senior Vice President of Finances

This notice is in regards to credits and refunds for on-campus housing and meal plan costs in the wake of COVID-19 and our transition to distance learning.

Dear Students and Families,

We want you to know that we are working quickly to resolve the financial impact this transition to remote learning will have on a student’s unused campus housing and meals for the remainder of the spring semester while taking into account student’s financial aid awards.

Students living on campus prior to the COVID-19 crisis will receive a refund or credit for housing fees and meal plan fees (if applicable) based on the proportionate time between when they leave campus housing -- or as cleared by Residence Life -- and the end of the spring term. Students living off campus with meal plans will receive a refund or credit for the unused portion of their meal plans. Students who withdrew prior to the COVID-19 crisis will not be eligible for a similar refund or credit.

Credits or refund approaches will be finalized as soon as possible. As soon as additional information is available, we will update you. If you have any financial aid questions or concerns, please be in contact with the Financial Aid Office.

Sincerely,
Nicholas F. Laino
Sr. Vice President for Administration and Finance
