Room and Meal Rates

All students living in a residence hall or fraternity are required to participate in the Willamette Meal Plan Program. The Willamette Meal Plan has been designed with the flexibility to meet the unique needs of each student. The meal plan program has two parts. Part I consists of "all you can eat" Meal Plan dinners from Sunday through Friday and brunch on Saturday. Part II is a Meal Plan Points program, which offers four different Points options. Points meals are breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday, dinner Saturday, and brunch Sunday. Food at these meals is offered "a la carte."

Meals are served throughout the school year in three locations: Goudy Commons, Kaneko Hall, and the Bearcat Cavern in the University Center (Monday through Friday, breakfast, and lunch only). No meal service is provided during Thanksgiving break and winter and spring vacations.

The room and meal plan costs include four different meal plan choices. Costs for the current year are as follows:

Living on campus offers greater support for academic achievement and growth in social maturity and self-reliance. It also encourages students to have an increased understanding of themselves and others through on-campus community living. Furthermore, living on campus offers convenience through proximity to classes, university events, and activities.

These rates are the anticipated fees for the 2023-2024 academic year. A $300 refundable cleaning/damage deposit is required for all spaces on campus.

Apartments - Salem  Campus

Juniors, seniors, or graduate students are eligible to live in the apartments. Appliances include a refrigerator, gas stove and oven, and a dishwasher. Utilities and wifi-internet are factored into the rates. The rates listed are per occupant, per semester.  No dining plan is required since the apartments have kitchens within each unit. 

ArtHouse Apartments - Portland

First year students are required to live in ArtHouse while attending PNCA-Willamette, unless they meet the requirements for living off campus. All living spaces are apartment style; some have multi person bedrooms, and others single occupancy bedrooms.  The price is based on the number of persons in the bedroom, not necessarily the unit, itself. When selecting a living space in ArtHouse, it's best to choose the type of bedroom you would like, rather than the unit itself as the number of units are limited, and spaces are filled based on availability. Dining plans are not available on the Portland campus.

Summer 2024 Rates

Summer housing may be available on our Portland and Salem campuses.  The summer housing contract runs from May 20, 2024, through July 31, 2024.

E-Bills and Payment Information

Withdrawals

Purpose:
To provide guidelines for the processing of student accounts refunds, including adjustments related to student withdrawals, calculation of refunds and return of Title IV financial aid, and overpayment refunds.

Policy:
Adjustments Related to Student Withdrawals:
Students are admitted to Willamette University with the understanding that they will remain until the end of the semester unless unforeseen circumstances necessitate their withdrawal. Students who are suspended or expelled from the University forfeit all refunds of tuition and fees.

In compliance with the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (Section 668.22), Willamette University's policy for adjusting tuition and fees due to a withdrawal is as follows:

1. Students who wish to withdraw from courses after the 10th day of class (the Add/Drop Period) must notify the Registrar’s Office. For additional information on the academic withdrawal policy, please review the Academic Policies and Procedures: Leave of Absence or Withdrawal policy.
2. Students withdrawing for medical reasons may petition for a medical withdrawal. The Application for Medical Withdrawal may be obtained from the Registrar's Office.
3. A student's withdrawal date is the date the student officially notified the Registrar’s Office of their intent to withdraw.
4. Tuition adjustments for full withdrawals will be prorated, per day, based on the academic calendar up to the 60% point in the semester. In the case of an approved full medical withdrawal, the tuition refund is the same as a student who withdraws from the University. After the 60% point in the semester, no refunds are granted for withdrawals.
5. If a student drops below full-time (3.0 credits) but remains enrolled after the Add/Drop Period, they will not have their tuition charge adjusted but will be billed as a full-time student for the semester.
6. If a student with an approved medical withdrawal drops below full-time (3.0 credits) but remains enrolled after the Add/Drop Period, the tuition adjustment will be prorated, per day, based on the academic calendar up to the 60% point in the semester. After the 60% point in the semester, no tuition adjustments are granted for partial medical withdrawals.
7. Withdrawing students are responsible for applicable room and meal plan charges through the date they checked out of their campus housing with Residence Life and Housing. Please review the Residence Life and Housing Handbook for additional information on canceling a housing contract or apartment lease and prorated housing and meal plan charges.
8. Health insurance charges and student body fees will not be refunded to withdrawing students.
9. In the case of a student's death during a term, a full tuition refund will be granted to the student's estate.

Student Accounts Refunds:
Students who withdraw and have received financial aid will receive their refund after the required portion of their financial aid is returned to the aiding programs in accordance with federal guidelines. The required portion of financial aid that is returned to the aiding programs is calculated as follows:

• Title IV aid and all other aid is earned in a prorated manner on a per day basis based on the academic calendar up to the 60% point in the semester.
• Recalculation of financial aid is based on the percent of earned aid using the following federal formula: Percent Earned = Number of days completed up to the withdrawal date divided by total days in the semester
• Federal financial aid is returned to the federal government based on the percent of unearned aid using the following formula: Aid to be returned = (Percent Earned × the amount aid that was eligible to be disbursed) – aid that was actually disbursed.

When financial aid is returned, the student may owe a balance to the University. The student should contact the Student Accounts Office to make arrangements to pay the balance.

Refunds will be issued for credit balances resulting from Title IV funds in accordance with financial aid guidelines. Other credit balances in excess of $100 will be automatically refunded to the student. Students whose accounts reflect an overpayment from sources other than Title IV may request the credit balance be held and applied to the next semester.

Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Student Accounts Office located on the first floor of Waller Hall.
