Student Health Services at UND will assess charges for visits to the University clinic; many insurance plans cover this charge.

A housing deposit of $120 per adult is due when applying for space in the dormitory. (This deposit is credited toward the total bill for housing and meals. It is refundable if application is canceled before May 1.)

The rates listed above assume that students, guests, and teens are participating in the group work program, contributing approximately 1 hour of work per day cleaning in the dorm or helping out in other ways, in order to keep housing costs down. If you do not wish to participate in this program, please find housing outside the dorm.

Anyone living in the dormitory is normally expected to participate in the dining plan. The dormitory does not have adequate facilities for people to cook for themselves.
