Housing Deposits
Students must submit a housing deposit when applying to live on campus. The fee is $250 for undergraduate student housing and $350 for graduate student housing. North Park returns the deposit when the student graduates or moves off campus, before the start of the next term. The reimbursement amount after graduation may be less than the deposit paid if North Park assesses any damage, lockout service, key replacement, or other housing process fees during the student’s stay in campus housing.
We will refund the housing deposit in full if an incoming student cancels the housing application before August 1 for the fall semester or December 15 for the spring semester.
If a current student graduates or becomes a commuter the following semester, North Park will process the housing deposit refund a month or two after the move-out date. We will verify that the student doesn’t have any outstanding housing charges or student conduct fines and will either allocate the deposit to pay for any outstanding student account balance or reimburse it as a check that we will send to the student’s permanent address on file. If the student has a direct deposit set up with the university, we will process the refund through it.
International students without direct deposits set up with the university must send a  to the Business Office, as North Park cannot send a check internationally.
