Housing

For high priority on the list of University housing, you must complete an application for admission and a separate application for housing and submit them at the same time. Housing applications are accepted on a rolling basis until all beds are filled so getting your application in early is important. You will not be assigned a room until your acceptance by Summer Sessions has been confirmed.

Housing applications will be available in mid-February, and a non-refundable $50 application processing fee will be added to your total housing bill for the summer.

If you register after April 6, the application processing fee is $100.

Once all the spaces are filled, the application will be removed from the website. If more spaces become available, the application will be online again.

Applications must be submitted online. Full payment must be made by credit card at the time of reservation.

Rooms will be assigned on a rolling basis until all available rooms are filled. You may apply for housing in advance of registration for summer courses but you will not be permitted to remain in campus housing if you do not register for classes or withdraw from the program.
