  • Seniors who are U.S. citizens
  • Sophomores in the U.S. on college-issued visas

• If the college is unable to offer an on-campus experience in the spring, or if on-campus living is suspended during and for the remainder of the semester, students who have paid for spring room and board can expect a pro-rated refund based on the number of weeks in the term that are not spent in campus housing.
