Assignments
All summer residents will receive roommates assigned to their apartment and roommates may be requested on the application. Students are not guaranteed that they will be able to reside in their current/spring or future/fall housing assignments. Facilities and custodial staff may need to enter the apartment multiple times during the summer to turn over bedrooms for multiple guests if residents are not staying the entire summer. All students staying over summer will be issued a campus mailbox in the Surbeck Center.

Billing
Students will be billed for the duration of their reservation at the beginning of the summer session (May). If a reservation is terminated early or extended, students will have their accounts adjusted accordingly.
