Application Information
Summer Housing
Summer housing is available each year from just after Commencement in May until just before Fall Check-In in August. Information about housing for the upcoming summer is generally available in mid-March. The most current summer information can be found here.

There is a separate application and assignment process for summer housing. Applications may be submitted on our online portal.

Not all buildings are available during the summer, though residents applying by priority deadline in early April have the best chance to stay in their current building, if it is offered.
