Housing costs per Year
The Founder's Hall Community features shared living arrangements with double occupancy rooms. Some rooms have a private bathroom for you and your roommate and others have Jack-and-Jill bathrooms shared by only two rooms. No community bathrooms here! The price per student includes all utilities and internet.
Housing Application Fee
There is a $150 non-refundable housing application fee.
Lease & Housing Deposit
Unlike typical student housing agreements, UAT students sign a 12-month lease and are welcome to stay in their room in Founder's Hall over University breaks and all three (3) academic terms.
Prior to moving in, financially self-qualified students pay the last month of rent in lieu of a housing deposit. If the student applies with a guarantor that meets qualifications, a refundable $400 deposit is paid. This $400 is refundable if all move-out procedures are followed correctly and there are no damages.
QUALIFICATION
Unlike typical student housing agreements, UAT students sign a 12-month lease and are welcome to stay in their room in Founders Hall over University breaks and all three academic terms.
To secure your space, you’ll need to financially qualify in one of three ways:
- Guarantor Waiver Program (GWP): A third-party company that backs your lease in case of late or missed payments—no parent or guardian required.
- Guarantor: A co-signer (usually a parent or guardian) who earns 3x the monthly installment and has a credit score of 650 or higher.
- Increased Security Deposit: No guarantor? No problem. You can choose to pay a security deposit equal to one full month’s installment instead of the standard $400.
All fees—including the application fee, your security deposit (based on your qualification choice), and the first month’s installment—must be paid before move-in day.
