Making Payments

The Office of Housing & Residential Life fees are combined onto the student’s university account and are payable at the same time as tuition payments. Students are responsible for paying their fees on time. The most convenient way to pay your housing fees is through MyUNLV. You may also pay by mail or in person at the Office of Cashiering and Student Accounts (SSC, first floor). For more information on payment methods, location, tuition, and other university fees see the Office of Cashiering and Student Accounts.

Affordability

Scholarship Incentives

Academic scholarships are available for eligible students living on campus:

Utilizing Financial Aid

Financial aid can help pay for your housing. Any aid that is disbursed is applied first toward your tuition and university fees before funds are applied toward your room-and-board costs. If your financial aid will not cover all of your room-and-board costs, you are responsible for paying the balance according to the payment schedule. Students with financial aid awards will not be responsible for late fees when those awards are disbursed after an established payment date. Visit Financial Aid & Scholarships for more information.
