There are multiple ways you can pay your residence fees. You can find a list of payment methods on the Registrar’s How to Pay Page. Navigate to Step 3: Payment Methods, which is mid-way down the page. Expand the box of the type of payment you would like to make to see further instructions. You can pay your residence deposit through online banking, telephone banking, credit card or by wire transfer.

To be considered for a space in residence, you must complete your application and submit your deposit before the June 8, 2023 at 4:00 pm ET, deadline.

We encourage you to pay your deposit and residence fees early as it can take 3-5 business days for your payment to process.
