How to Live at 2400 Nueces Again
Current residents of 2400 Nueces may begin applying for housing when the application opens on Aug. 1. You will need to provide a $100 non-refundable application fee to complete the application. Once you are offered a contract via email, you will need to provide a $300 advance payment before you renew your contract. The $300 prepayment is a financial commitment for your reservation and will be applied to your first month’s rent or any cancellation fees. Beginning in mid-October, contracts for students currently living with us will be offered based on application date order and availability.
Students with a current 12-month contract will be able to renew their current room assignment for the same length of time. If students are current 9-month contract holders or switching to a 9-month contract, they will be assigned a room by our housing team. Room transfer requests are not guaranteed due to limited availability.
