2011-2012 Rates and Agreement
When signing your Housing Agreement, please remember that this is a serious decision that requires considerable forethought. The following topics should be considered before applying:
- Review your budget for the coming year. Have you determined how you will pay for housing? Have you looked at whether your co-op earnings will impact your expected family contribution/financial aid?
- Discuss your decision with your family (or whomever pays your tuition bills). You are the one ultimately responsible for your housing contract. It's better to discuss this before you apply than after you have already signed the Housing Agreement, which is a binding contract.
- Think about where you may spend your co-op. Some students move home during the six months they are on co-op while others prefer to live on campus. Many students know in advance if they intend to conduct a job search outside the area. Try to determine in advance if you will need housing while you are on co-op.
Housing rates are established each year by the Board of Trustees and appear on the tuition bill at the beginning of the academic year. All undergraduate Drexel residence halls are fully furnished and the cost includes utilities.

Housing Deposit
All students are required to submit a $200 housing deposit in order to finalize their online housing application. In order to be guaranteed a housing assignment, along with an application, new students should submit their deposits by June 15th and returning students should submit their deposits by January 31st. Deposits should be submitted to the Cashier's Office using one of the following methods:
Online: Via DrexelOne, select the student's tab, then "eBill." Select "Deposits" from the top menu bar. Select "Fall Quarter 2011" from the drop down menu, then "Housing Deposit" from the second drop down menu, and proceed with instructions. Please note that only "Fall Quarter 2011" will process.
In person: With a check, cash or money order, go to the Cashier's window in the Office of Student Accounts located on the first floor of the Main Building. The office is open 8AM to 5PM Monday - Friday. Credit Cards are not accepted at the Cashier's window.
By mail to the following address:
Drexel University
Cashier's Office
3141 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
Checks should be payable to Drexel University and include the words "housing deposit" in the memo section and the student's ID number.
Residence Hall Closures and Break Housing: The residence halls are closed for the duration of the various breaks, the period between the end of one quarter and the beginning of the next. Residents of first year halls (Calhoun, Kelly, Myers, Towers, Race, Millennium, and Van Rensselaer) are not eligible for break housing between the Fall and Winter Quarters as these halls close for this period.
