Student living facilities at the
University of North Dakota include University residence halls, single student
apartments, and family housing apartments.
University residence halls are
designed to provide a comfortable diverse living environment for students while
they are enrolled in the University and to promote the personal and social
development of students through group living. Each residence hall has a hall
director who is assisted by resident assistants. Each hall elects its own hall
council which promotes a program of social, educational, and recreational
activities. Complete information may be obtained by visiting our web site at
www.housing.und.edu or by writing to the Housing Office, University of North
Dakota, Box 9029, Grand Forks, ND 58202-9029.
Applications. Applications are sent, on request, from the
Enrollment Services Office or the Housing Office. Students may also print an
application from our website at www.housing.und.edu. Assignments are made in
accordance with the established priority system which is determined by the date
of the receipt of the $25 nonrefundable application fee. Early application is
encouraged.
Room and Board Contract.
Residence hall room and board contracts are for the entire academic year (fall
and spring semesters) or for the entire summer session. The student will
receive a copy of the contract, containing cancellation dates and refund
policies, for the year in which they are applying. The contract is revised
annually. Rates will be sent to all students following approval by the State
Board of Higher Education. The cost of a double room with a 19-meal board plan
was $3,614 for the 2000-01 academic year. Room and board rates are revised
annually and are subject to change.
A student
vacating his or her assigned room before the end of his or her contract term
without written consent from the Associate Director of Residence Halls will be
held responsible for the entire charges of the contracted period. Naturally, in
case of illness, or other special reasons, consideration is given.
A student whose registration is
cancelled for any reason is required to vacate. Only enrolled University
students may live in UND residence halls.
Facilities. All residence
halls meet modern standards of health, fire, and sanitation. Furnishings
include study desks, single beds (mattresses are 36" x 80"),
dressers, chairs, drapes or blinds, bookshelves, mirrors, wastebaskets, and
bulletin boards. Laundry facilities and mail service are also provided.
Students will need to bring bed linen, blankets, study lamps, towels,
bedspreads, and pillows. Telephone lines are provided; however, the student
will need to bring his/her own phone. Each residence hall room is equipped with
high-speed, direct connection to the Internet.
The University maintains several hundred apartments for families
and single students. Residents have easy access to the University Children’s
Center and enjoy a variety of social and cultural events at the University
Apartment Community Center.
