Payment Information
DEPOSIT:
A non-refundable $200 deposit is required to reserve a space in a residence hall. The $200 deposit will be applied to your total housing balance due and must accompany your housing application.
RETURNED CHECKS AND CREDIT CARDS:
BALANCE DUE AT CHECK-IN:
Balance payments (total housing fees due for summer less the deposit paid) are payable in full, via credit card on-line. All Summer Interns must pay in full (zero balance) before they can check-in to their summer residence hall. No exceptions will be made.
CANCELLATIONS:
Cancellations made under ten (10) business days from the time of your scheduled date of arrival (as noted on your application) will result in a $300 late cancellation fee - charged directly to your credit card. Cancellation Fees are non-refundable.
EXTENSIONS, EARLY CHECK-OUTS, and NO-SHOWS:
All extensions must be requested in writing through Housing and Dining Programs (you can e-mail us at summerhousing@american.edu). Extensions will be granted on a space available basis, and you may be required to move to a different room and/or hall to accommodate the extension. Please note that no extensions will be granted past Saturday, August 7th at 12:00 Noon. Additional fees due must be paid immediately upon notification from Housing and Dining Programs. Interns checking out before their scheduled departure date forfeit all unused housing fees. If you fail to check-in on the date submitted on your application, we will attempt to contact you to confirm your arrival. However, room reservations will be canceled 48-hours after your check-in date and all appropriate cancellation fees will be billed to your credit card.Applying:
