Students who live on campus and have an outstanding balance for their housing, MUST make the payment prior or by April 18. If you are on a payment plan, then you need to make sure your payments are up to date.
The housing office will be sending out final eviction notices on April 18. At that time, students will only have 72 hours to pay their balance or move out. This is a very serious matter. If you have any concerns, please email askucie@wright.edu
