* All first-year students will be housed in Morrison Hall and with a roommate. Accommodations for a documented medical need, requiring a single room may be directed to the Center for Accessibility and Learning Equity at access@spalding.edu for information. Students with approved medical exceptions will be charged the double room rate of their respective dorm for the 2021-2022 academic year. Requests for a single room not associated with a documented medical need should be directed to reslife@spalding.edu for review. Single rooms are subject to availability.

**You must submit a $100 deposit to secure your room and receive a housing assignment.  You will not receive your housing assignment until you pay the deposit.  This deposit will be applied as a payment to the student account reducing the balance due for the first semester that you live on campus.  You need to submit this deposit once for each academic year.  You do not need to submit it each semester.  The Housing Preference Form will instruct you on how to pay the $100 deposit.

***This fee supports health and wellness services and education.

***Meal plan balances expire at the end of each academic year.
