Inter-Residence Association Fee
A non-refundable Inter-Residence Association (IRA) fee of $30, $15 billed each semester is charged to each student to fund events, leadership development opportunities, and other campus-based initiatives as determined by residence hall councils. IRA is a campus student government organization made up of elected executive leadership and student representatives from residential complexes.

- Assigned damage charges may be appealed.
- We email students in mid-June with directions on how to do that.
- Damage appeal deadline is June 30.
Offset Cost Assistance
To allow all residents the opportunity to fully participate in all themed housing choices regardless of their financial status, we offer a discretionary housing fund to offset a portion of the higher room rates in some Learning Communities (such as University Heights and Living/Learning). Financial aid packages are based on the cost of a traditional double room, but we also house students in double, triple, or single rooms arranged in private, suite, or traditional-style rooms. Students who receive need-based assistance and are members of these programs may request offset cost assistance if:
- They are assigned to a qualifying room that is more expensive than the standard room rate and Student Financial Services determines the extra cost to be a financial hardship.
- The offset cost assistance request form is in the housing portal, visible during specific times of the year only to residents of qualified rooms.
- The deadline to request is the last day of add/drop each semester.
- We're happy to offer this opportunity to our residents. For any questions, please contact us at reslife@uvm.edu or (802) 656-3434
