We’re already planning ahead for a safe and positive Summer Term 2021.

Summer Housing Boost recipients will live in double rooms in Kronshage Residence Hall. You can learn more about the rooms on University Housing’s Kronshage Hall page.
If you require an alternate room type to accommodate a disability, please contact the McBurney Disability Resource Center. The Summer Housing Boost program will work to provide alternative room options for students who submit a request through the McBurney Center.
The Summer Housing Boost will only cover your housing costs while you are enrolled at least half-time in summer courses. You can work with University Housing to extend your summer contract and live in the residence halls for an additional period, but you will be responsible for the costs associated with that additional time.
If you are accepted into the program, there is an option to submit a request for a specific roommate. We cannot guarantee that such requests will be granted, but we will seek to accommodate them where possible.
