Summer session II housing closes on Wednesday, July 30. There are three end-of-summer options available for students. Please review the options listed below and complete the Summer/Fall Housing Planning Form by 8:00 a.m. on July 28.

You can move out of your summer housing when summer session II ends on July 31 by 10 a.m. Remove all of your personal items from your summer session II assignment and return the key(s) to your community service desk. If you are returning to on-campus housing for the fall term, you will move into your fall assignment during opening weekend by scheduling an appointment to check-in between August 15-17.

Transition housing is available for students with a current summer II housing assignment who also have a housing assignment for the Fall 2024 semester. This option is available for:

  1. Students who wish to remain on campus or come/go from campus between July 31 – August 12, and/or
  2. Students who wish to store personal belongings on campus between July 31 – August 12.

The cost for the transition housing period is $180 and is the same whether you remain on campus or just plan to store personal belongings.

You will be expected to check out of summer housing and into transition housing by 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 31. By choosing this option, you will be required to move out of transition housing and into your fall assignment on Monday, August 12 by 10 a.m. Please make your plans accordingly since moving out of transition housing cannot be extended. This includes students who store personal belongings. If items are not moved out of student rooms by 10:00 a.m. on Monday, August 12, those items will be discarded.

If you would like to utilize transition housing, and you are currently living in the same assignment you will have for the fall, you may remain in your space during the period between summer session II and fall 2024 move-in. You will not have to move to Owen or Tucker Hall. If you stay in housing and/or leave your items in your current/fall assignment, you will be charged $180 for the transition housing period. This includes if you live in a graduate space in Wolf Ridge Apartments.
