Students who sign an EFSC Housing contract for two major terms (such as Fall and Spring) have first preference to be placed in housing each academic year, plus have first preference for the optional summer term add-on. Fall-only or Spring-only contracts are available on a space available basis after full academic year residents have been placed.
 
At the time the housing contract is signed, the student (or if student is under 18 years of age, the student’s parent or legal guardian) must select one of the following payment options for the academic year contract. The required payments are then posted to the student's EFSC account inside the myEFSC Student Portal. These are payable through the same online payment system used to pay other charges, such as tuition. The system includes a housing payment plan option through Nelnet.
 
Scholarships, financial aid or Florida Prepaid plans in excess of tuition and fees for each term may be used for the payment of housing fees.
 

Housing Payment Options 2025-26 Academic Year

The housing costs below are in addition to a $500 Housing Deposit required for 2025-26 housing contracts. If a student is offered a housing assignment, that offer will be sent via email to the student's official EFSC email address, which will include the proposed contract along with instructions for how to pay the $500 deposit. That deposit must be paid and the contract must be signed and returned to the EFSC Housing Office in order to officially accept a room assignment. The housing deposit is refundable if the contract is not canceled early and there are no damages.
