St. John’s College Fees

Accepting a 2025/26 St. John's College contract?
The current location of St. John’s College will be undergoing an exciting transformation starting summer 2026. A new 1,500 bed graduate-focused residence area is being built on the site, and St. John’s College students will have the opportunity to live in this beautiful new community when it opens.
Site preparation work will begin in May 2026, with students moving in in stages between 2028 and 2029 as buildings are completed. In consideration of the May 2026 project start date, the residence contract for 2025/26 will be eight months in length, September 1, 2025–April 30, 2026.
