Housing Deposit Information
Every residential student must pay a housing deposit in the amount of $250 either at the time of admission or upon returning to university housing. Students may not complete a housing application until a housing deposit is paid and processed, which takes roughly 48 hours from receipt of deposit.
The deposit is held until the student departs campus housing. If there are no damages or other charges assessed on the student’s account at that time, the Office of Student Accounts will later process a refund. Students who are approved to be released from their housing and dining services agreement forfeit their housing deposit.
Newly admitted residential students must pay their housing deposit through the Office of Admissions.
Students returning to on-campus housing may submit a housing deposit online or with a $250 check, cash (exact amount) or money order. Checks and money orders should be made out to UMW with the Student ID number (beginning with “000”) in the memo line, and brought to Marye House or mailed to:
UMW Residence Life

We recommend you make an appointment to drop off a check, cash, or money order to ensure someone who is authorized to accept it is in the office.
