How to Apply for Housing
On-campus accommodations within the residence halls are available only to full-time, degree-seeking, undergraduate students. Acceptance by the University does not ensure that a student will receive university housing. The student must complete an application and submit a $200.00 housing deposit for housing in order to receive consideration. Housing assignments are made on a first-applied, first-served basis, in priority order of the date of receipt of application and housing deposit.
The Housing application can be submitted through your myBarry account after you have been accepted to the University. Your enrollment deposit must be paid before the housing application and non-refundable $200.00 housing deposit can be submitted. All housing deposits are non-refundable after May 1st for fall housing and October 1st for spring housing. Cancelations must be in writing to the Department of Housing and Residence Life. Cancelations after the deadline or failure to occupy the space will result in forfeiture of the housing deposit. The housing deposit will be applied to your first semester housing costs.
Required Health Information
Students offered housing must provide proof of insurance and complete an online insurance waiver upon entering the University and, on an annual basis thereafter prior to the first 14 days of the semester or, the fee for the Barry sponsored student insurance plan may be assessed to the student's account. If a student insurance fee has been assessed to a student's account due to lack of compliance with the university policy, such fees are irrevocable and will not be credited under any circumstance. The wavier can be submitted through your myBarry page or at www.srstudentcenter.com. In addition students are required to submit a health history form and medical documentation of vaccinations (2 MMR's, a Tdap in the past 10 years and a meningitis vaccination received after 2005) submitted to Student Health Center prior to checking into campus housing. Failure to comply with the University policy may negatively affect the student's the arrangements for university provided housing.
All students residing in university provided housing will be assessed a $90.00 bi-annual Student Health Center Supplemental Insurance fee. This fee can be waived by completing the Supplemental Insurance waiver found on the web at www.barry.edu/healthservices/studentinsurance. All waivers must include all required data to be considered valid and must be submitted within the first 14 days of the semester, for credit to be issued.
