Residence Hall Room Deposit, Payments, and Refunds

All residence hall applicants are required to pay a room deposit, which must be submitted with the application. Room deposits are paid only once (providing that the deposit balance stays above $0) and are used to cover the cost of room, floor and hall damages. Room deposits are refundable if a student cancels their room prior to July 15 for the fall semester and prior to Dec. 15 for the spring semester. Room deposit balances are carried over each year until the time the resident moves from the residence halls for the final time. Cancellation and Refund forms are available online at westliberty.edu/residence-life/cancel. Graduating student deposits will automatically be refunded.

Unless prior arrangements have been made in the Business Office, all students who live in the residence halls must pay in advance for at least one full semester. Checks and money orders should be made payable to West Liberty University for the exact amount of the obligation. Students not paying room cost in full by the stated deadline will be subject to removal from the residence hall.

Financial obligations, including further information regarding housing deposit and refund entitlement, are detailed in the Housing Contract. For specific information regarding housing policies and procedures, please contact the Office of Housing and Residence Life.
