How and when are residence-hall charges billed?

Emory’s housing agreement provides that room charges are assessed by term to the student account. Student Accounts publishes September 2, 2026 as the Fall 2026 payment deadline. Families should use the student account for the actual posted amount and current deadline because billing dates can change by term.

What is the true annual cost of living in an Emory residence hall?

Emory publishes a standard residence-hall double at $6,248 per semester for 2026–27 and first-year Plan A at $4,584 per semester. That makes a representative double-room plus Plan A cost $10,832 per semester, or $21,664 across fall and spring. A single, triple, or another eligible housing/dining configuration changes the total.

Are payment plans available for residence-hall housing?

Emory Student Accounts offers a Flywire payment plan. Current terms include an enrollment fee and installment structure; because housing charges post to the student account, eligible housing charges can be paid through the plan according to Student Accounts rules.

What happens if a housing payment is late?

Emory requires term charges to be paid by the published Student Accounts deadline. The 2026–27 housing agreement states that nonpayment can result in holds and can affect the student’s right to occupy or access University housing. Families should address a shortfall with Student Accounts before the due date.
