<p>Nikara, there is a $400 credit on my s account. Is this the credit of the deposit we paid for the 2008-2009 housing? I didn’t realize that they credit it so early, I thought they withhold it until after you move out and they have inspected the room.
Thanks</p>
<p>bmom- I just looked at old statements (S was in dorm last year) and his account was credited $400 on April 20, 2008- so this timing seems to be the norm.</p>
<p>You get a credit at the end of each year. Often, you will simply use that credit for next year’s housing. This is pretty normal. If something is wrong with the room once your son moves out, they will charge him then.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Great, money back is good. I just paid next year housing deposit so I welcome any money back to me. :D</p>
<p>Ah, I was wondering what that credit was as well but my D thought I would be nuts to call and ask about it. She figured I should just lay low and hope they wouldn’t discover the error.</p>
<p>my S actually didn’t have enough money in his account to pay for this year’s deposit and I had just gotten a US dollar credit card to pay for the past due account when I noticed the credit.</p>
