Are returning residents required to do a background check or pay an application fee?
In Spring, if a current resident chooses their room for the next academic year when the Room Renewal process (also known as "re-contracting") is available, the resident will not have to pay the application fee and will not be required to complete another background check.
Current residents who miss the deadline for Room Renewal, as well as returning residents who take a Semester break, must pay the application fee and submit another background check if they apply for housing for the next academic year.
