Enrollment Deposit
Admitted undergraduate students are required to pay an Enrollment Deposit to confirm their plans to attend UMHB. Enrollment Deposits are $150 for commuting students and $300 for resident students (housing deposit included). Upon registration, the Enrollment Deposit is applied directly to the student’s bill. Deposits should be paid by cash, credit card, money order, or check payable to UMHB.
Once the Enrollment Deposit is received, UMHB will provide information about new student orientation, academic advising and registration.
Admitted new students should pay their Enrollment Deposit by May 1 for the Fall semester or within two weeks following notification of acceptance if admitted after May 1 for the Fall semester or if admitted for the Spring semester or Summer sessions. The date the deposit is paid could affect the financial aid package as well as the orientation/registration date offered, and building eligibility for those applying for housing.
A refund of 100% of the Enrollment Deposit will be given if requested prior to May 1. After May 1, the $150 pre-payment will not be refunded. A refund of 50% of the housing portion of the Enrollment Deposit will be given if requested after May 1 but prior to June 1. After June 1, the student will forfeit the entire Enrollment Deposit if choosing not to enroll at UMHB. Enrollment Deposits for the Spring semester and/or Summer sessions are nonrefundable.

House Application and Assignment Process
Residence living requirements: Students at UMHB are typically required to reside in campus housing unless they meet one of the following criteria: a) will live with a spouse, parent, or legal guardian within commuting distance of the campus; b) have 48 or more accumulated hours and/or at least 21 years of age; c) will attend the University as a part-time student.

To be eligible for student housing, an individual must be enrolled and attend as a student in the university and carry a minimum of 12 undergraduate semester hours (full-time status). A student who does not maintain full-time student status but wishes to continue residing in student housing may request an exception from the Director of Residence Life.
New applicants: Once a student is accepted for admission to UMHB, a student housing application may then be submitted. Completing the process includes submitting the following:
● Required deposit amount - $300.00
● Completed housing application
Housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are made available to students upon acceptance.
