Housing & Meal Plan Information

Residence Hall applications are processed in the order they are received with required fees paid. Students are encouraged six to seven months before the start of the term.

 

It is recommended that applications be submitted no later than at least two months prior to the beginning of the term. However, there is no official deadline for application.

1. Navigate to https://apply.hocking.edu.
2. If you have not used the system before please use the form on the left to create your account to apply for housing.
3. If you have used the system before use the form on the right to login to complete your application for housing.
4. Under "Available Applications" click "On-Campus Housing Application". Complete the application and you will be queued to be matched and placed in a dorm.

Two fees are automatically required:

• Non-refundable application fee of $50/year
• Reservation Fee of $400 (Due by August 1st)

Once the reservation fee is paid, the applicant is locked in to their first available housing preference.

If you apply for housing for these terms, these are the fees you will owe:

• Summer Term Only = Application Fee ($50)
• Start Autumn Term = Application Fee ($50) + Reservation Fee ($400) = $450
• Spring Term Only = Application Fee ($50)

If you already paid an application fee for the year, you do not have to pay again (ex. If you applied for Summer Term and also applied for Autumn Term, you only pay $50 once).

Fees are subject to change without prior notice. Please contact the Hocking College Housing Office if you have any questions about fees.

No. The college admission application and housing application are two different processes. You must be accepted to the college before your housing application can be processed.

Upon receipt of the application, a confirmation letter will be sent to the applicant confirming receipt of the application and fees. If the required fee is not received, it will delay the application process.

Applications submitted without the application fee will not be processed.

• Autumn Term: August 1st
• Spring Term: January 1st
• Summer Term: May 1st

No. You will need to take the following steps in addition to canceling housing:

• Send a letter to the Housing Office stating your intentions of canceling your application.
• The date the letter is received will determine if the deposit is refundable or not.
• Canceling your housing does not automatically cancel your registration. To cancel your classes, you need to follow the Withdrawal process
  
  

• If the applicant cancels in writing before the due date of the applied term, the full reservation fee is refundable.
• If you cancel after the payment due date for the applied term, the reservation fee is not refundable.
• If you fulfill the term of the contract the reservation fee will be credited towards your Spring Term room charge.
• Late applicants (applicants submitting application after the payment deadline): If a room is reserved for you and an invoice has been mailed or you were notified over the telephone, your reservation fee is non-refundable.
