Live-in Requirement If you are single and a first-year student enrolled in seven or more college credits, and under the age of 20, you must live in a CWU residence hall for one academic year regardless of the number of college credits you have earned (WAC 106-156-010 and WAC 106-156-011). Running Start students, regardless of class standing, are also required to live in residence halls for one year. Students requesting an exception to the policies must apply for an exception through Housing and Residence Life by locating the form on the Housing website or through their MyHousing page in advance of the quarter. Requesting a Roommate Sharing a room provides the opportunity for developing new friendships. Students occupying a double or triple occupancy room may choose a roommate they already know. The roommate must be accepted to CWU. Roommate requests are considered on a first come first serve basis and are subject to current capacity. Contract The academic-year contract offers room and board for the entire academic year and your commitment is for the full term of the contract. Exceptions include participation in an approved off-campus academic program such as student teaching or an internship. Contract Cancellation approvals are rare. If Housing and Residence Life permits you to terminate your contract during the academic year, you are subject to liquidated charges and fees in accordance with the room and board contract. First-year students, including Running Start students, are required to live on campus for one academic year and to have a meal plan. Room and Board Rates CWU offers three regular academic quarters (fall, winter, and spring) and a summer session. Current residence hall housing rates range from $12,763 (most common rate for a shared room and mid-meal plan) to $18,060 per academic year.
Current student apartment and family housing rates range from $735 to $1,470 per month per apartment. The 2021–2022 room and board rates are expected to increase slightly. It is anticipated that the new rates will be made available by the end of January and posted online at cwu.edu/housing . Paying Room and Board Fees Residence hall and meal plan fees are due six working days after classes begin. Your account balance is available on MyCWU student account for payment. Monthly payment plans are available to enroll in at the beginning of each quarter through Student Accounts. Outstanding room and board fees are assessed late fees. For more information, see the Terms and Conditions section in the room and board contract. Questions?
