Rental Rates

Accommodation Arrangement Fee

There is a non-refundable fee of $200 to arrange your accommodation. The fee is due 20 days prior to your desired move in date. The type of housing is not guaranteed, and a student will be placed in available housing. This fee includes a one-time option to change, within 40 days of your placement, from Student Residence to homestay or vice versa. The housing arranged is only for the duration of the student¡¯s studies at POLY, and the student must move out within 30 days of the student¡¯s last date of registration at the school.

Security Deposit for Accommodations

For both Student Residence and homestay, there is a security deposit of $200, which must be paid together with the accommodation arrangement service. The security deposit will be held by the school and paid within 30 days from the date of a written request to the parties agreed by the student and the landlord. Should there be a dispute between the student and the landlord, the school will hold on to the money until the dispute is settled between the parties. The student may request a refund after the student has moved out of the place and within 40 days from the last day of student¡¯s attendance at POLY, and the refund request must accompany the release letter from the landlord.

There will be a charge against the security deposit for any damages and/or cleaning services needed to restore the rental to its original condition. For Student Residence, if the student did not bring a bed set at the time of check-in, there will be a charge of $65 for the bed set.

Rental Rates

For Student Residence, a student may book up to 120 days at a time. For any booking less than 30 days or change of rooms, there is a charge of $35. For a new student, the rent for the period booked is due 20 days prior to the student¡¯s scheduled move-in date. For the continuing student, the rent is due at the time of booking. The room is guaranteed only for the period booked, and availability is based on first come first served.

For homestay, the first month¡¯s rent is due 20 days prior to the student¡¯s scheduled move-in date. Thereafter, the rent is due on a monthly basis. The monthly rate for homestays is subject to change, and the payment policy for each homestay may vary.
