Housing Term Vanguard University housing operates on an academic year housing contract. Students wishing to live on campus will sign a housing contract each year during Housing Registration during the spring semester. The amount of $200 must be paid as a deposit to secure a space in campus housing. Leaving housing at semester is considered a breaking of this contract and is subject to a break of lease fee of $500. Students graduating at semester or studying abroad in spring are not subject to this fee.
