Housing Costs
University-Owned Off-Campus (Village) Housing. Walla Walla University owns a limited number of apartments and houses for students to rent. Rent is charged to the student account in 3-month increments and prorated based on check-in and checkout dates.
Students must apply for housing during open application periods. Priority is granted to applicants who are married and/or have children and/or are 25 years of age or older. Housing offers are made to other applicants on a first-come-first-served basis. Financial arrangements must be approved by Student Financial Services before a student may move into a residence.
Students not registered for the following quarter are required to vacate the day after the last day of finals, or if graduating in June, the day following the graduation commencement. A 30-day “move out” notice is required. Students not giving a 30-day notice may forfeit up to 30 days of rent. Upon vacating, students are responsible for restoring the residence to its initial clean condition. If there are charges for an incomplete move-out, cleaning, damage, moving out late, or failure to return key, these charges will be added to the student’s account.

Housing Administration Fees. A non-refundable Housing Administration Fee is required before occupying a residence. This fee covers administrative costs and may be paid by check or cash at the Village Housing Office or by credit/debit card or e-check online. Credit card payments are charged a convenience fee.

- Be 22 years or older and/or have completed 135 credits and/or live with a sibling who is at least 22 years old and has no other roommates

Pet Policy. Animals of any kind, except harmless fish in an aquarium (not to exceed 10-gallon capacity per residence) are prohibited. Service and assistance animals are restricted to students who have received prior accommodations for such through Disability Support Services. The presence of animals within university-own housing poses serious health, safety, and maintenance concerns. In addition to direct damage incurred by animals, many students have allergic reactions to various animals.
