Summer room selection - Tuesday, April 22, beginning at 4:00 p.m.

• Summer housing room selection will take place in person on Tuesday, April 22, starting at 4:00 p.m. in CUB 260. Only students who have been verified as eligible will be entered into the lottery and permitted to select a room on this day.
• Each eligible student will be assigned to a 30-minute time slot, with approximately 35–40 students in each time slot. Time slots are assigned based on lottery numbers generated for the upcoming 2025–2026 housing selection process. Students will be called in the order of these lottery numbers.
• If a student is planning to live with a roommate, both rommates should attend the selection at the earlier of the two assigned time slots.
• Students currently studying abroad who apply for summer housing must designate a proxy to select a room on their behalf. Please email Michele Klunk with your proxy's name so they can be included in communications regarding the summer housing room selection process.
• More detailed information about room selection will be shared with approved summer housing applicants after the April 17 application deadline.
• After room sign-ups occur on April 22, and we know where everyone is moving from and moving to, students will receive more specific details about their transition from spring to summer housing, as well as information about temporary storage options. Please note this may take a few days to organize.

Accommodation requests

Residential Education will work with students who have an approved housing accommodation to meet their approved needs.

Summer housing move-in and move-out information

• Summer housing rooms will not be available for occupancy until 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20. In most cases, students will be permitted to remain in their spring housing until that time. Students will have until 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 22 to move their belongings from spring housing to their assigned summer housing. Following the summer housing room selection on April 22, additional details will be shared regarding the transition process from spring to summer housing.
• Students who are not on campus during the spring semester (e.g. those studying abroad) should plan to arrive no earlier than 4:00 p.m. on May 20.
• Students who are still residing in summer housing on Friday, August 1, and who are returning for the fall semester, will move into their fall housing between August 1-3, beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, August 1.
• Students not returning for the Fall 2025 semester (e.g. May 2025 graduates, those studying abroad or off-campus, or those living off-campus) must vacate their summer housing and return their room keys by 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 3.

Temporary storage availability

Spring to summer housing transition

Limited temporary storage is available for students who are unable to move directly from spring housing to summer housing within the designated time frame. For instance, some students may leave campus immediately after completing their exams and not return until later in May or June. These students must vacate their spring housing before they leave but may not yet be able to move into summer housing.

In these cases, students have two options: take their belongings home or use the temporary storage space located in the Apple basement for the short time they are away. Please note that this storage is not intended for use throughout the entire summer. All items placed in temporary storage must be removed when students return in May or June.

About a week after room sign-ups on April 22, additional details about temporary storage-including how to request it-will be shared.

Summer to fall housing transition

Temporary storage is also available for students who move out of summer housing before August 1 and will be returning for the fall semester later in August. Additional details about temporary storage will be provided in July. Please note: this storage option is only for students returning in August for the fall semester. We are unable to accommodate long-term storage (e.g., during the semester).
