Towson University: What do Towson’s proposed 2026–27 housing figures mean, and which billing periods do they use?

DIRECT ANSWER

Both the 2026–27 housing and residential meal-plan tables are proposed, not approved charges. Keep each specified room category and semester or academic-year period attached to its amount. Confirm approved rates, the actual assignment, contract and separate meal charges; these examples do not establish a private housing payment or rental return.

Towson's published 2026–27 table explicitly labels its housing rates 'Proposed Fall 2026 – Spring 2027'; these figures are proposals, subject to change, and do not establish approved charges or the student's actual bill. The proposed multiple-occupancy room category is $4,336 per semester and $8,672 for the academic year. The proposed single-occupancy category for Prettyman, Scarborough, Newell and Richmond is $5,098 per semester and $10,196 for the academic year; the proposed Residence Tower nine-month multiple-occupancy category is $4,606 per semester and $9,212 for the academic year. These examples apply to the specified university categories and residence periods. Confirm approved rates, the exact room assignment and contract, the separate meal-plan charge and other applicable charges with the university before relying on a total. The same page also labels its residential meal-plan rates proposed; it does not establish approved meal charges. A semester figure does not represent monthly private rent, an entire private apartment lease or an ownership budget. Preserve the stated semester and academic-year periods when comparing these proposed amounts. They do not provide a mortgage quote, loan approval or an all-in private-housing payment. Proposed campus categories do not establish achieved private rent, market value or rental occupancy.
