Residence Hall Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply for housing?
Once you have been accepted to WVU Tech and receive your MIX username and password,
please go to
MyHousing.wvu.edu. You will be required to pay a $225 housing deposit
to reserve your room. If you are unable to pay the deposit please contact the Student
Life office at 304-929-1232 to ask about a waiver.
The housing application/contract is a legally binding contract committing you to
live in on-campus housing for the entire academic year.
When are housing deposits due?
There is no deadline for the $225 housing deposit. However, assignments are
made on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is important to complete the application/contract
early. You deposit is credited to your upcoming term's tuition and fees*.
*
Tuition and fees are usually not the only educational expenses you may have while
pursuing a degree. You may have other costs such as books, supplies and living
expenses. Please see the
Estimate Costs and Aid webpage for how to estimate and plan for other potential
expenses.
Will I get my deposit back if I do not attend WVU Tech?
If you are not planning on attending WVU Tech, we will refund the full $225 housing
deposit if we receive written notification by July 1 (December 1 for Spring Only
term). After this date, deposits are nonrefundable. Applications/contracts can
be cancelled if you are not attending WVU Tech by notifying us via your MIX email
account to
TechStudentLife@mail.wvu.edu. A staff member will follow up with an email when
the contract cancellation has been processed.

Can I change rooms?
There is a two-week room freeze at the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters.
During this time, there can be no room or roommate changes. If you are interested
in moving to a different room, please see your Resident Director.
Room changes are done on a first-come, first-served basis and are based on availability.
