Two-Year Academic Housing Agreement

Living on campus is about more than convenience—it’s about feeling connected to, supported by and being part of a vibrant campus community. Adelphi’s Two-Year Academic Housing Agreement allows eligible students to live on campus for two consecutive academic years with the added benefit of locking in their housing rate for the second year.

Adelphi’s Two-Year Academic Housing Agreement is being piloted for Fall 2026–Spring 2027 through Fall 2027–Spring 2028.

This new option helps students and families plan ahead with confidence while supporting a full, well-rounded Adelphi experience. It reflects Adelphi’s commitment to providing a connected, supportive on-campus environment where students can thrive—especially as off-campus housing costs continue to rise.

By committing to two years of on-campus living beginning in Fall 2026, students can:

• Budget more confidently
• Stay fully engaged in campus life
• Build meaningful bonds with their Adelphi family
• Enjoy the safety, convenience and support of living on campus

What the Two-Year Agreement Includes

The Two-Year Academic Housing Agreement provides:

• Two academic years of on-campus housing at the same rate (Fall 2026–Spring 2027 and Fall 2027–Spring 2028)
• Resident student access to all campus amenities, services and support
• Options for Roommate Selection, Room Choice and Residential Communities
• Required resident meal plan

Planning Beyond the Two-Year Agreement

We hope you’ll choose Adelphi as your home throughout your college journey.

The Two-Year Academic Housing Agreement is being offered as a pilot beginning in Fall 2026. Based on participation and demand, we anticipate offering options for students who wish to continue living on campus after completing the two-year agreement.

Students who participate in the pilot can expect one of the following continuation options, to be announced in March 2027:

1. An option to renew for an additional two-year housing agreement, at a modest and predictable increase over the initial two-year rate
2. An option to continue on campus for one additional academic year, also at a modest increase

In either case, students who choose to remain on campus after the pilot period can expect housing rates to increase gradually and predictably, in line with standard annual adjustments. Adelphi is committed to transparency and fairness in housing costs and to supporting students and families as they plan their full academic experience.

Who Should Consider This Option

The Two-Year Academic Housing Agreement is a good fit for students who:

• Plan to live on campus for the next two academic years
• Want greater predictability in housing costs
• Value a vibrant, immersive campus experience
• Prefer the convenience, safety and community of on-campus living
• Are weighing rising off-campus housing costs and availability

Deposit and Financial Details

To opt in to the Two-Year Academic Housing Agreement, students must have a valid $300 housing deposit on file and submit an additional $100 Two-Year Commitment Deposit. The $100 will be applied toward second-year housing charges.

Cancellation and Early Termination

Students who complete Year One but choose not to return for Year Two while remaining enrolled at Adelphi will forfeit the $100 second-year deposit.

In addition, a $750 early termination fee will apply. Approved exceptions—including graduation, withdrawal, study abroad or documented medical circumstances—will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
