For Students Utilizing Dorm Accommodations:

1.     To request Dorm Accommodations: please check the box on your registration form indicating you would like on-site housing in our Dorms. Submit the registration form in a timely manner so that room availability can be checked and rooms can be prepared for occupancy.

2.     Dorm rooms are issued on a first-come / first-serve basis, based on availability at the time of the request.

3.     Dorm room cost is $35 per night, per student. All rooms are designed for double occupancy with twin beds.Students from the same agency / same gender may be assigned jointly to one room. Single occupancy rooms are not guaranteed, depending on availability, at the Academy's discretion.

4.     Electronic dorm facility keys are no longer mailed out ahead of time for early ( Sunday ) occupancy.  Students who are issued rooms are required to check in at the front desk on the first day of their class, sometime between 8a-3P, to sign for and receive their key(s). This provides adequate time for students to also inspect their room sometime during the day and report any needs prior to the Academy closing for the business day.
