I-House will begin charging room fees beginning on the check in date you submitted in your application. You are not allowed to change this arrival date unless it is permitted. This request must be done in writing to the Admissions Office at least 4 weeks prior to arrival to be considered. Changes are subject to approval by the Admissions Office.

We cannot confirm the exact room number before your arrival since room assignments are subject to change. We do guarantee the room type indicated in the acceptance letter.

We make every effort to accommodate your room preferences in the order indicated on your application based on availability on your arrival date and the rate you provided on your application. You will receive an e-mail confirmation within one week of receipt of the $600 Room Reservation Payment and your arrival date.

I-House receives many applications from applicants of all different backgrounds. If you were assigned a room that was not your first choice, it is likely because we do not have any of those room types available for the duration of your arrival and departure dates.

We do not accept room change requests prior to arrival; however, upon check-in, you may go to the Admissions Office and submit a room change request form. Room changes requested this way are reviewed in the order they are received, and only when a room becomes available due to resident departure will we be able to provide a room change. Residents can also swap rooms with other residents via the I-House app, eliminating the need to wait for a current resident to vacate their room.

Please note that room changes are never permitted during the summer term.

Please view our Amenities and Rates page for details on what items each room type is furnished with. NO ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE FURNITURE MAY BE BROUGHT INTO I-HOUSE.

No, I-House North rooms do not come furnished with kitchen utensils; these must be purchased by the resident.

Full Payment is due upon arrival. When you arrive, you will be required to pay the following:

1. The balance of the refundable Security Deposit (equivalent to one month's room fees) which will be returned to you after your departure provided all outstanding charges have been paid and the room is left clean and in good condition.
2. Room Fees from the date of your scheduled arrival through your scheduled departure date.
3. Meal plan charges.

As of June 2023, all residents are encouraged to be vaccinated against COVID-19, but it is no longer required for admission.

Pets are not permitted at International House.
