General Leasing Questions
Are you connected with the SU cashier?
Will you send me a bill for each installment?
No, payment is due at the beginning of every month and a bill will not be sent.
Does an application guarantee a spot?
No, only a completed lease guarantees a spot, not an application.
Are the apartments furnished?
Yes, the apartments are fully furnished and at no extra charge to you! All of our apartments come with a couch, chair, coffee table, end table, entertainment stand, dining room table and chairs. In each bedroom you will have a full size extra long bed, dresser, and a desk with a chair. No need to go to the laundry mat because all of our units also come with a washer and dryer!
Will you have RA's?
No. We do, however, have a CA program that is designed to help you with your needs.
What size are the beds?
All of our beds are full size extra long. 80 inches long.
Will my financial aid cover my rent?
You should review any documentation concerning grants, loans or scholarships with the financial aid office. Most loans that would cover on-campus housing should cover or come close to completely covering Campus West Apartments. It is ultimately up to you to do the research.
Where is the leasing office?
150 Henry Street Syracuse, NY 13210
When Is the deadline to submit applications?
There is no deadline. Availability is based on a first come first serve basis. You can apply online at 24 hours a day. A signed completed lease actually reserves a space!
When do I put down a deposit?
We don't require a deposit if you can provide a parental/sponsor guarantor (much like a co-signer), but if you don't have a guarantor, the deposit will be equal to 1 month's rent. When you turn in your application, we require that you give us the application fee of $20 (one-time charge). The service fee of $200 (one-time fee charged after move-in) is due along with signed lease agreement.
How are roommates matched?
We match rooms based off of preferences that are put on the application. After you complete the leasing process you will be emailed 1 to 2 weeks before move-in with your room number and roommate information. If you already have a roommate in mind, you can put their name directly on the application and you can be matched that way as well.
How are rooms assigned?
Rooms are assigned on a first come first serve basis, from the top floor to the ground floor.
Is there housekeeping?
No, you are responsible for the cleanliness of your apartment. You are also responsible for removing your trash/garbage to the area trash disposal on-site.
Can we bring our own furniture?
You can add to the furniture in the apartment, but you cannot take any of our furniture out of the apartment.
Can I pay my bill with a credit card?
Campus West has a great feature that lets you pay online! View your balance, submit electronic checks, or pay with a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover from any computer. You can even submit maintenance requests! Just log on to our website and click the "Pay Rent" link. This will take you to our resident rent pay portal. There is a small convenience charge for this service.

Yes, you must be a matriculated SU student, paying SU tuition, and completed their housing requirements.
If my roommate moves out, am I responsible for their rent?
No, you are covered by our individual lease liability.
