Summer Housing
On-campus housing is typically available for both undergraduate and graduate students who will be taking courses, conducting research, or engaging in other academically related programs during the summer. The number and types of residence halls and houses available each summer depend on numerous factors; you can inquire about the residence halls and houses available for summer use by contacting the RLH Office. If you have a spring housing assignment, you may be able to transition directly from semester housing to summer housing and vice-versa with no gaps in between.
The Summer Housing application will open on Monday, April 7, 2025 and close on Monday, April 28, 2025 at 5:00pm.

Students looking to transition from semester housing to summer housing with no gaps in between will need to apply for Late Stay housing. The Late Stay housing application will open on Monday, April 7, 2025 and close on Monday, April 28, 2025 at 5:00pm.
