If you plan to live on campus, you must:

• Submit your $200 non-refundable housing deposit online or via check.
• Check your email for instructions on how to select your room. 
• Housing for the first year is guaranteed if all deposits and forms are received by the deposit deadline. Housing is assigned on a space-available basis to students whose deposits are received after the deadline.

Please note, your housing and tuition deposits are not refundable.

• Visit the myRider Portal
• Click “If you have not claimed your RIDER KEY, do that here”.
• Enter your Bronc ID, Last Name, and Date of Birth.

If you will be living on campus at Rider, select your term of entry. For example, "Fall - Tuition & Housing ($400)" to make a deposit for tuition and housing.

If you will be commuting, select your term of entry. For example, "Fall - Tuition Only ($200)" to make a commuter tuition deposit only. No housing deposit is needed.

Already paid the commuter tuition deposit, but you'd like to live on campus? If you have already paid your commuter tuition deposit and would like to live on campus, you may go back to step 6 and choose “Fall- Housing Only ($200)” deposit to make your housing deposit.

Already paid the housing deposit? If you have paid a housing deposit, the Office of Residence Life will contact you at a later date via email regarding your housing application.

Please note:

• You will gain access to begin the housing application three business days after your deposit is paid.
