Student can submit the housing deposit through the housing application. The deposit can also be paid through the Parents Student Financial Services page on myMarist between February 19 and March 1.
If a student completes an application but does not submit a deposit or submits a deposit, but does not complete the application, they are not eligible for Housing Selection.

Marist Club Hockey falls in SECHL playoffs
After a 4-8 conference record and 9-11 overall record, Marist Club Hockey qualified for the SECHL playoffs, with a date with Siena College on February 9th.
With 1:26 remaining in the first period, Marist’s Jack Barone scored to give Marist a 1-0 lead, which they took to the end of the 1st period.
From there, Siena rattled off 4 consecutive goals, 3 of which came in the second period. Once the final buzzer went off, Siena had won 4-1 and set themselves up with a quarterfinal matchup on Saturday, while Marist College went home.
While not impossible, Marist Club Hockey’s hopes of a ACHA Regional bid is likely out of reach.
