-
+Can additional furniture be brought into the apartment?
You may bring additional furniture into your apartment; however, you shall not remove our furniture, fixtures, and/or furnishings from the apartment for any purpose. -
+Can I pay my bill with a credit card? Is there an extra charge?
Current residents can pay any bill with credit (VISA, MasterCard & Discover), check or money order. There is a 2.5% service fee for electronic payments, but that service fee is waived if payment is made by bank draft (account and routing number). -
+Can I request a specific floor plan and/or roommates?
Yes. You will complete an application with specific floor plan preferences and requested roommates, if applicable. We work to accommodate as many preferences as possible; please keep in mind that requests are NOT a guarantee of placement. -
+Do I have to have a meal plan?
No, you do not have to have a meal plan while living at University Park. If you decide to purchase a meal plan, we encourage you to opt for one of the Commuter Meal Plans or one with Dining Dollars. -
+Do I need to bring my own utensils and bedding?
Yes! Some suggested items to bring with you: Flatware and drink ware (plates, bowls, cups, etc.), kitchen utensils and silverware, cookware, bathroom rug, shower curtain, towels, bed sheets, comforter, mattress pad, curtains and tension/spring rods (mini-blinds already installed), and decorations (posters, picture frames, etc.). We send a packing list in mid-July to all incoming residents. -
+What is an Installment?
The contract is a set amount with set move-in and move-out dates. For a contract that ends in May, the contract amount is broken into 10-installments, 10 even payments to equal the full contract amount. For a contract that ends in July, the contract amount is broken into 12-installments, 12 even payments to equal the full contract amount. Residents can also make the choice to pay a semester at a time. All rates (full contract amount, semester rate and 10/12 installment amount) are included in the signed contract. The May-ending contract has a higher rate to account for the unit being unoccupied in the summer months. -
+Can I use my financial aid?
Yes! You can use your financial aid to cover your rent at University Park. It is your responsibility to submit rent payments to us on time. With proper documentation, we will allow you to defer rent payments until you receive your refund/loan check. Please be prepared to pay 1-2 rent installments "out of pocket." Information on this process is emailed in mid-July to all incoming residents. -
+How are rooms assigned?
Residents who already have preferred roommates can request them on the application when they apply. Residents can also send an email to universitypark@cocm.com to request a roommate. In the event that potential roommates discover that they are no longer compatible, they can request a different roommate by submitting an email to universitypark@cocm.com. We will do our best to accommodate any change request. All requests will be considered but are not guaranteed. To provide sufficient time and the greatest opportunity for residents to find the perfect roommate, they should apply and sign a license agreement as early as possible. Bedrooms inside of a unit are assigned randomly. -
+How close to campus are you?
University Park is conveniently located on the east end of campus. -
+How do I obtain a temporary parking permit?

+How does the waitlist work?
Once we fill all of our bedrooms on property, we start a wait list. Anyone who submits an application is added to the wait list for the floor plan of his/her choice and will then be contacted by the leasing office if there have been enough cancellations to send a housing contract. -

University Park Salisbury does not offer discounts for rent paid in full. However, prepayment gives you the peace of mind knowing that your account is in good standing at all times! -
