Housing at Grand View is limited; with more than 800 students on campus, the demand is extremely high. It is very important to meet submission deadlines for paperwork as room assignments are made based on the date we receive your $100 enrollment deposit, Housing and Meal Contract, and $200 housing deposit.
Housing is a three step process:
1. Pay a $100 enrollment deposit. You may pay online or by mailing a check to the Admissions Office, 1200 Grandview Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50316.
2. After we receive your $100 enrollment deposit you will be mailed a Housing and Meal Contract . Please take the time to review the terms and conditions of this agreement.
3. Sign and return the Housing and Meal Contract together with a $200 housing deposit to the Admissions Office. You may also pay your housing deposit online.
The earlier that both deposits and the housing contract are received the better chance you will have to obtain your preferred housing choice. Student preferences are more likely to be met if paperwork is submitted prior to May 1 (for fall incoming). Student preference isn't as likely when students are incoming for the spring term.
Cancellation of a signed and submitted Housing and Meal Contract and a full refund of the $200 housing deposit can occur through July 15 (for incoming fall) and November 15 (for incoming spring) if done in writing and submitted to the Admissions Office. Cancellations after July 15 (for incoming fall) or November 15 (for incoming spring) or “no shows” upon move-in will result in forfeiture of the $200 housing deposit.
Housing assignments will be mailed around July 5 (for incoming fall) or November 1 (for incoming spring).
