Housing Information
General Housing Information
Application Procedure
The $350 housing deposit may be submitted online at housing.indianatech.edu. If you are unable to submit the payment online, make remittance payable to Indiana Tech by check or money order and mail it to the admissions office. Please do not send cash.
Housing Guarantee
Housing can be guaranteed only if the deposit is paid by May 1st prior to the first term of attendance. If paid after May 1st, you will be placed based on availability.
Housing Deposit / Room Reservation Fund
The $350 housing deposit will be held as a reservation deposit for as long as a student remains in Indiana Tech housing. Once an assignment is made and the student moves into the room, the deposit transitions to a damage deposit. Housing assignments are based on the following factors:
- Full-time enrollment status (12 or more credit hours)
- Date the housing deposit was received
- Submission of the housing application
Students who reduce their course load below full-time status (fewer than 12 credit hours) may be required to move out of the residence halls. If a student leaves campus housing—whether due to withdrawal, a reduction to part-time status, or a change to commuter status—a deposit refund may be requested. For a housing deposit to be released, the student must submit an Intent to Not Return application to Residence Life no later than December 1 for the fall semester or May 1 for the spring semester. All housing deposits will be applied to financial balances before being returned to students.
Residential Requirement
All Freshmen and Sophomore students are required to reside in campus housing. However, some housing exemptions are granted.
Room Assignments
Room assignments are made in mid-June. Room and roommate information will be communicated to your Tech email in mid-to late June. Housing assignment location preferences are honored, but spaces are limited. Housing is guaranteed if deposits and applications are completed prior to May 1st. Building placement is primarily based on the completion date of the application, however roommate groups are placed based upon the average application completion date of the roommate group.
The university reserves the right to make changes to room assignments when it is in the best interest of the residents and/or the university.
Roommates
A group of applicants must request and accept each other as roommates within the Residence Life Portal. Applications where students only name a preferred roommate are not guaranteed. Residents without a roommate group are assigned using their responses to the roommate matching questionnaire for maximum compatibility.
Meal Service (Board Plans)
All first-year students are required to participate in the full meal plan. In addition, any student residing in the Pierson Center Hall or Kalbfleisch Hall is required to participate in the full meal plan. Returning or transfer students in Evans-Kimmel Hall, Troder Hall, Frank and Anne Oropeza Hall, or Summit Hall may choose between the Any 5 meals, Any 10 meals, or the full meal plan options. Returning or transfer students assigned to a townhouse in Warrior Row A or B or Rogers Hall may choose to participate in a meal plan but are not required. Exceptions may be made for medical reasons or at the university’s discretion when returning student occupancy exceeds facilities typically allocated for that population of students.
Contract meals begin on the first official date of housing each semester and end on the last date of final examinations each semester. Although the university may offer meal service during scheduled breaks during the academic year, they are not considered part of the contracted board plan.
Room Furnishings and Supplies
For information on room furnishings and amenities in each building, please visit housing.indianatech.edu and click on the building to which you are assigned. None of the furniture provided may be removed from the room. Mattresses are twin-long, and you will need to provide your own bedding. Hot plates (cooking appliances with open top burners), deep fryers, and space heaters are not permitted within the residence halls. Refrigerators are allowed but limited to approximately 4 cubic feet. You may wish to bring a small desk lamp for additional lighting. Telephone service is not provided in the rooms as most students utilize cell phones and online communications. Toiletries and cleaning supplies are your responsibility. Shower curtains will be provided. Additional information on rooms and suggestions on what to bring is also located on the website.
Laundry Facilities
Laundry machines are located in each facility for residential students only at no additional cost. Students desiring finished laundry and/or dry cleaning may find this available within a reasonable distance off campus. Students who do not live on campus are not permitted to use residence hall laundry facilities.
