Summer Stay Options
Summer on-campus Housing will be exclusively in South Village. Apartments (University and Golden Eagle) will not be offered this summer, as we focus on improvements to enhance the future resident experience. Meal plans are required.
Multiple contract lengths will be available. Please note:
Only the listed contract dates will be offered—no custom date ranges.
If you move in late or leave early, your housing charges will not be prorated.
Some options are available only to specific student groups.
