One residence hall is open to Summer Session undergraduate students. It is announced in the Spring of each year.

Each hall is air-conditioned and offers single and double rooms, both community and single-user bathrooms. Gender-specific areas are designated in each hall, including community bathrooms.

All bedrooms are fully furnished with an extra-long twin bed, towels, desk and chair, dresser, bookshelves, lighting, and window treatments.

Amenities include multiple lounges and recreation rooms, laundry facilities, wireless internet service, vending machines, and 24-hour front desk service.

Summer Staff cannot make arrangements for any other type of campus housing (married student housing, International House, sublets, etc.). Nor can we guarantee a particular building or room type.

Single rooms are available, but cannot be guaranteed without an accommodation arranged ahead of time through Student Disability Services. Please indicate your room preference on the housing application.

If you request a double room and would like to request a specific roommate of the same gender, both you and the other student must list each other as a requested roommate.

When you check in to the residence hall, you receive a room number and mailing address information.

Mail can be picked up at the residence hall front desk or mail room. The desk is staffed 24 hours a day. Staff will sign for all priority packages.

Mail or packages that arrive for Summer students before they arrive or after they depart will be returned to the sender.

Summer Session students cannot host overnight guests in the residence halls. Guests may visit the residence halls between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily as long as they are escorted by their hosts and sign in at the front desk.
