All Freshmen and Sophomore students are required to live in the residence halls. The Student Development Office
makes final decisions on all room assignments. Responses on your application only indicate preferences and although an
attempt will be made to accommodate all requests, there is no guarantee they will be met.
Requirements for Securing Campus Housing
Securing campus housing includes the following stipulations:
- To secure a room for the 2008-2009 academic year, you must:
A. Complete the three online forms: Residence Hall Application, Housing & Dining Contract and Meningitis Vaccination Record/Waiver. These forms maybe  completed online or by printing, completing, and mailing the .pdf forms
(Adobe Reader required).
B. Send your security deposit check with your application or make an online payment for your security deposit.
C. You must be a full-time, degree-seeking student or enroll in six credit hours each semester you reside in the
residence hall.
- Full-time, degree-seeking students will have first priority as will those whose Residence Hall Applications
are received by June 1, 2008 for the fall semester. The deadline for turning in your Residence Hall
Application is August 1, 2008. We will not accept any Residence Hall Applications after these dates!
- Spring semester applications must be received by January 2, 2009
Roommate Requests
Every effort will be made to pair students who wish to room together. This will be accomplished provided:
- The request is mutual; that is, that each student requests the other(s) on the application.
- All request the same housing facility.
- There is space for these individuals in the facility requested.
Roommate Assignments
Rooms are furnished for double or triple occupancy. Any student who has not chosen a roommate will be paired with
another student matching as many items as possible from the Residence Hall Application. The earlier we receive
your residence hall application, the better the chance you have of being placed in a two-person room. However, this
does not guarantee it.
Your name, hometown, home/cell phone number, and email address will be shared with your future roommate as well
as your Residence Hall Assistant.
Security Deposit
We require a security deposit to be submitted with every application in order to start your housing assignment
process. This deposit is for cleaning, any damage incurred, and keys. Refunds will be mailed at the end of the year
after the rooms are inspected by supervisors and checkout sheets are returned to the Business Office. If you plan
to continue living in the residence halls the following year, the deposit will be held over. If, during the course of the
summer, you decide not to return to MCC, you must notify the Student Development Office by June 1 (November 30 for spring semesters) or you will forfeit
your deposit. Make checks payable to: Manhattan Christian College, or pay your security deposit by online payment.
Security Deposit Fee
The security deposit fee is $125.00 until June 1 for the fall semester and November 30 for the spring semester. A
non-refundable late fee of an extra $50 will be charged for those applications received after June 1 or November 30
for a total of $175.00.
Meningitis Vaccination Record/Waiver
Following the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, MCC requires all new students
residing in campus housing to be vaccinated for meningitis or to sign a waiver indicating that you refuse to take
the vaccine. You must have a medical provider complete your record or sign the waiver that is attached to the Residence Hall
Application. Your application will not be processed until this information is received with your application and security
deposit.
Cancellation Policy
Your application may be cancelled at your written request to the Student Development Office under the following
conditions:
- If the written request is postmarked on or before June 1 (November 30 for spring semester) your security deposit
will be refunded.
- If you cancel after June 1 (November 30 for spring semester) your security deposit will not be refunded.
- Students must vacate within 48 hours of withdrawal or dismissal.
- If you choose not to return to MCC for the spring semester of the 2008-2009 academic year, you must notify the
Student Development Office by January 2, 2009 or your security deposit will not be refunded.
