Housing Application Fee and Damage Deposit

A non-refundable housing application fee of $100 is due with submission of the application. A damage deposit of $250 is required prior to move-in.

Upon occupancy of a room by the applicant, the damage deposit will be held until the student graduates or otherwise vacates the Residence Hall. It is retained until the student moves out of campus housing permanently at the end of the trimester. Students forfeit the damage deposit if they vacate a room after Move-in Day and before the end of a term.

Any damages that are assessed will be withheld from this deposit, as will any other charges owed to Baptist College, and the balance will be refunded to the depositor. Students must also follow and complete the move-out procedures in order to receive a refund of the $250 damage. After vacating the residence hall, students will have until the end of the following term to request the refund of their deposit, or it will be forfeited.  Residents must request the return of the deposit by completing the Residence Hall Move-Out Form and submitting it to Housing staff.
