Payment Deadlines
Your rent payment schedule will depend on your payment type (monthly or term) as described in your rental agreement.
Monthly payments are due on the last day of the month for the upcoming month - for example, February rent is posted on January 15 and January 31.
For Term Contracts, rent is charged on September 15 and/or January 15 and is due at the same time as the tuition deadline for each term.
Residence fees applied to your Bear Tracks account, such as those for locks & keys, cleaning & repairs, garbage disposal, or operational fees are due within 14 days of the initial charge. After this time, interest will be assessed to your account for late payment. For a more detailed breakdown of fees please see the Residence Fees page.
