Housing Process
(for fall returning students only, incoming students' housing application is handled through the admission process. Returning students entering for the spring semester, please contact the Director of Residence Life for details.)
1.Submit a $100 housing deposit to the business Office by the first Tuesday after spring break. Unity College is a residential campus. We encourage students to live on campus. Students are required to live on campus until they are twenty-one years of age or have completed 60 credits. The only exception is granted, upon request, for students living with their parents within fifty miles of the college. Your housing deposit of $100 must be forwarded to the Business Office by March 20 to secure a space for the upcoming academic year. You can pay your $100 housing deposit on line by going to On Line Payment.
2. (Optional) Update your housing questionnaire by going to housing questionnaire Please enter your information and submit.
3. Housing selection numbers will be posted here. All students who have paid a housing deposit will also be sent a notice telling them their housing selection number and their housing selection date and time. Housing selection numbers are weighted by the number of semesters completed ensuring that seniors pick first followed by juniors, then sophomores and finally first year returning students. Students who paid their housing deposit late, (after the first Tuesday after spring break), will have a late penalty applied to their housing selection number and will be selecting after first year returning students.
4. In the order of the housing selection number, students come to the Director of Residence Life's office and select their rooms and/or roommates. The Director will have residence floor plans available. Students are not excused from classes to attend housing selection. If a student cannot attend housing selection they can either send a proxy to select for them or contact the Director of Residence Life, telling him their housing preferences and he will select for the student when their housing selection number comes up.
Any student whose deposit is received by the Business Office after July 1st, will be placed on a "space available" basis. if the student is required to live on campus and no space is available prior to registration day, the student's registration may be canceled.
No housing deposits will be refunded after June 1st of the same year. Students who wish a refund of their housing deposit must submit a request to the Business Office.
Students not required to live on campus may request, in writing, a change in housing status and billing to the Director of Residence Life before the first day of classes for the Fall semester.
All resident students are required to participate in the "Campus Plan". A student who wants to request a change in the Campus Plan due to extenuating circumstances must submit a written appeal to the Dean for Student Affairs. All campus plans are for one full academic year.
