Summer 2008 Housing Information and Application

The Basics

Summer housing will be provided in Martin Hall for approximately ninety (90) students, and in Kemp Hall for students involved in the SEP program. Students admitted into summer housing will live in double rooms. To be eligible for summer housing, students must be in financial good standing with the Business Office, registered for Fall 2008 classes (this means that recent graduates are not eligible) and fit one of four criteria:

• A student may be employed full-time by the University during the period of residence
• A student may be conducting research for a faculty member
• A student may have an international address
• A student may be participating in the Summer Enrichment Program (SEP)

Students who fall out of compliance with any one of the required criteria will be asked to vacate summer housing within 48 hours.

Summer residence halls will be staffed with Resident Assistants, and Office of Residential Life policies and procedures remain in effect throughout the summer term. Summer housing is a privilege, and violations of policy will almost certainly result in termination of a student's housing for the rest of the summer.
