The housing calculator has a number of drop-down menus which allow an applicant to select from the following options:

• Type of housing/room
• Meal plan level
• Payment plan option

Once these have been selected an applicant can then enter their estimated financial aid award.

The calculator will then provide an estimated cost for campus housing and tuition against the amount of financial aid an individual might be planning to accept.  A balance signifies that housing will not fully funded by financial aid and the applicant will have an amount that they must personally pay.  A negative balance signifies that financial aid will fully fund housing and tuition and the applicant may receive a financial aid refund.

The calculator is for planning purposes only and does not take into account mid-year changes to financial aid or a change to the type of room into which an applicant may be placed.  It is the applicant's responsiblity to pay all housing charges.
