Eligibility & Application Information

Summer Housing applications are available beginning March 1. 

Students are encouraged to submit summer housing application materials early to ensure an assignment.  Students must be enrolled in at least one course during the summer session(s) for which they want to live on campus in order to be eligible to reside on campus.

All room assignments must be occupied by the "No-Show" deadline of 6:00 p.m. on the first day of classes. If you will arrive after 6:00 p.m., please contact University Housing at 828-262-2160 to notify staff of your late arrival. If an assignment is not occupied by the "No-Show" deadline and no arrangements for a late arrival have been made, the space is subject to reassignment.

The University reserves the right to:

  1. Cancel or change the assignment in the interest of consolidation, health, sanitation or other urgent reasons.
  2. Collect charges for damages or the unauthorized use or alteration of a room, equipment or building and for special cleaning necessitated by improper use of a room and/or equipment.

The University is incurring an administrative expense to hold a space for the Student. If a Student decides to cancel their Contract after executing this agreement, and prior to the established move-in date for the summer session for which they applied, the Student will be charged a $150 cancellation fee to cover administrative costs.

All students who live in summer housing are required to have a meal plan.

Additional Summer Housing Information

Students who do not check into their assigned space by 6:00pm on the first day of classes for each session that they attend will be declared a "no-show" and will forfeit their space in the residence hall.  Students declared as "no-shows" will be held responsible for all housing-related charges for the session if they remain enrolled in it.

Summer Session II students who check into their fall room assignment prior to the start of the 2026 - 2027 academic year housing contract will pay a nightly rate.
