Office of Residential Services

In order to accept a student housing offer, all of the associated paperwork and the housing security deposit must be received by the due date stipulated in your offer email.

 

First, please complete the on-line forms, including the Housing Contract, in your myTC portal.  Select the TC Services Tab.  Under Residential Services, Housing Menu, you will find the link to the "New 2012-2013 Housing Contract".

 

Second, a non-refundable security deposit of $750.00, payable to Teachers College, is required to hold your space for you.  The deposit will be placed in an interest bearing account, separate from your student account, and will be refunded to you 4-6 weeks after you vacate the residence hall, provided all provisions of the housing contract were met.  Payment of the security deposit will not show up as a credit on your student account. If you decide to cancel your housing assignment after you have submitted the Housing Security Deposit, it will be forfeited.   

 

The housing deposit may be paid via check or money order or via credit card.  The credit card authorization form is attached here.  Please follow the instructions on the bottom of the form regarding submission.
