All rates for housing and dining are proposed first to student leadership in the Inter Residence Hall Association (IRHA).
Following acceptance by IRHA, the proposed rates are presented for approval to the Board of Regents, State of Iowa at their February/March meeting; final approval is made at the April/May meetings.
Prior to the time that rates are approved, posted rates are for illustrative purposes only and are subject to change.
This web site will be updated once rates are approved.
After initial approval, the Board reserves the right to change rates during the term of the contract by giving 30 days advance notice. If rates increase during the term of the contract, an e-mail notice will be sent to all impacted residents informing them of the change. Residents have 20 days from the date of notification to cancel their contracts without penalty.
To review rates for Meal Plans and Dining Dollar$, please visit the Meal Plan Rates (ISU Dining website).
The rates listed are for the academic year, both fall and spring semesters. Half of the rate is billed at the start of each semester. Monthly billing is not available but payment plans can be arranged through Accounts Receivable.
In addition to the rates listed, all residence hall and apartment residents are assessed dues that contribute to programming and upkeep of equipment that student-led cabinets and councils choose to do. Please review the Terms and Conditions for specific dues information.
