To start the process you need to fill out the online application. If you have additional questions please call 517.990.1337.

Yes, all residents of campus view student housing are required to purchase a meal plan. View Jackson College’s dining & meal plan options.

Availability depends largely on the time of year. Please contact Residence Life for more information. If there isn’t currently availability, you could be placed on a wait list.

A wait list is created when demand exceeds bed space availability. A wait list for both males and females is created, and as space by gender becomes available individuals from the wait list are contacted and offered a bed space. Individuals on the wait list are ordered by time, date and application/security deposit received.

Payment is due before you move in for each term. Please see your contract or contact Residence Life for specific dates.

Students can make payments directly to the Cashier located in Bert Walker Hall or by calling 517.796.8420.

When sending checks or money orders please make checks payable to Jackson College and in the memo line write: Student ID number, student name and the word “Housing.”

Students must pay their housing balance in full before they move in. Financial aid may be used but tuition must come out first and the remaining financial aid may be used towards the housing balance. Whatever costs remain the student is responsible for covering with private loans, grants, or some other means. Students must bring proof of payment when checking in to housing.

You cannot use financial aid to pay housing security deposit of $300.

Housing application fee and security deposit must be paid in full prior to move-in.

All official communications will be sent to your Jackson College e-mail address.

For students who fulfill the terms of their contract, it will be used in the event there is case of damage to the room. Please review the terms and conditions included in the contract for details about forfeiture.

The housing contract is a legally binding document. If you decide to break your contract, you are still responsible for the cost outlined in your housing contract. You are also charged a non-appealable $300 cancellation fee.

If you are not returning to housing we can refund the balance of your deposit (minus any charges for damages or key replacement charges). This process does take time and may take up to 30 days after you complete a housing exit form and required check-out process. We will send the refund to the address the college has on file.

All of our policies for the residence halls are outlined in the resident handbook.
