 - You are a single parent with dependents
 - You are a veteran of the U.S. military service

Am I required to have a meal plan?
All students living on campus are required to have a meal plan. Your class standing (number of credit hours earned) will determine the meal plan you are required to have. Please see the link to Room & Board Rates for more information regarding required meal plans.

What's the difference between the Housing Deposit and the Commitment Fee?
Upon enrollment, your student account will be charged a $100 housing damage deposit if you are living on campus. This is separate from the commitment fee you pay upon acceptance of your invitation to attend Schreiner. The housing deposit is a one-time fee. If there are no damages or fines when you leave housing (after your earn 90+ hours or meet the other off-campus living requirements) your deposit will be refunded. The commitment fee will be paid directly to the Office of Admissions and will determine the order in which your housing assignment will be made (i.e. earlier commitment fees get placed in requested rooms first).

When will I get my housing assignment?
Housing assignments for the 2008-2009 academic year will given to incoming students at Mountaineer Days.

Who is required to have Medical Health Insurance?
All residential and international students are required to have proof of medical health insurance. Residents must submit either an online waiver or enrollment application at the following site: www.collegeinsurance.com Residents that fail to submit the online form will automatically be billed for Schreiner University’s student health insurance. For questions regarding health insurance, please go to the Schreiner University Health Center webpage: http://students.schreiner.edu/health/

What about Student Personal Property Insurance?
We recommend that all students have Student Personal Property Insurance. Students may be covered under their parents' homeowner's insurance policy. However, if you would like additional information on student insurance policies, please visit http://www.nssinc.com

Can I request a roommate? Are single rooms available?
You are welcome to request a roommate, and as long as that person also requests you as a roommate, the match will be made. In case you meet someone during Mountaineer Days who you would like to live with, your Peer Advisor will have a form for both of you to complete to make the request. If two people request each other as roommates, the later of the two commitment fee dates will be used to determine where you will be living. Due to the increase in students living on campus, it is very unlikely that singles will be available.

Where will I live and what kind of rooms does that hall have?
Freshmen are assigned to Trull, Delaney, Flato and L.A. Schreiner. Where you are placed is determined by several factors: the date you submit your commitment fee to the University, whether or not you request a roommate and/or residence hall. Transfer students and upperclassmen are assigned to the Pecan Grove and The Oaks apartments.

Trull is coed with women living in the south wing of the building and men living in the east wing.
