Notice of Proposed Changes to Housing Rates

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Notice of Proposed Changes to Housing Rates

Jacksonville, Fla. – Pursuant to Board of Governors Regulation 7.001(4), the University of North Florida is providing notice of proposed revisions to current housing rental rates. The proposed rates will be presented to the UNF Board of Trustees at its full board meeting on Feb. 27 at 8:30 a.m. in the Adam W. Herbert University Center at UNF, 12000 Alumni Drive.

 This will be the first housing rental rate increase in eight years at UNF. With evolving market conditions and growing demand for student housing, the rental rate increase is requested to ensure continued quality services for residents and maintenance of facilities while upholding the University’s financial responsibilities to bondholders. 

The increase will be dependent on the facility and room type with an overall average of 4.25%* for each of the next three (3) years, implemented in summer 2023. *The proposed rate increase for summer 2023 averages 9.03% due to the shortened summer term.

Florida Statutes Ch.1009.24 provides the UNF Board of Trustees the authority to approve University fees such as housing rental rates. For questions regarding the notice of proposed changes, please email Stephanie Howell, paralegal, Office of the General Counsel at showell@unf.edu.
