University Summer Housing
The Office of Residential Life is pleased to offer summer housing to matriculating Wesleyan undergraduate students. Students who require housing after Saturday, May 18, 2024, must submit an online Summer Housing Application.
Summer Housing begins on Saturday, May 18, 2024. Students may be required to remain in their spring assignment or relocate to a temporary assignment before transitioning to their summer residence. Students must be present to move on the designated date.
NOTE: Students living in Bennet, Westco, Nicolson and select program houses cannot stay in their unit beyond May 18, 2024. Any students, except graduating seniors, residing in Bennet, Westco, and Nicolson who need housing after this date will be required to relocate to another residence (graduating seniors are permitted to remain in these units until Monday, May 27, 2024, with the understanding that Reunion/Commencement guests will also be occupying these buildings). Program House residents who need to relocate will be informed the first week in May. All moves must be completed by 3 PM on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
*Please note that applying and being accepted into summer housing does not mean that you are automatically enrolled in a meal plan. To learn more about meal plan options, please visit Wesleyan Dining for the meal plan application.
Important Information
- Summer Housing is ONLY available to matriculated Wesleyan undergraduate students. Graduating seniors are not eligible unless enrolled in University Summer Session. Graduate students interested in summer housing should contact our office at
860-685-3550 - Fraternities and societies (Alpha Delt and/or Psi U) are not designated as University summer housing and students who decide to stay at these locations should carefully check move in and move out dates, as they will not be eligible for University transition housing at the beginning or end of the summer. Please note, that students are prohibited from living in 184 and 276 High Street, as they are not recognized as housing options during the academic year and remain off limits to students.
- Summer Residents must stay for a minimum of four weeks after the opening of Summer Housing on May 18, 2024. Students cannot move into Summer Housing after August 1, 2024.
- Students will be hired to serve as ResLife staff for the students living on campus this summer. It is their responsibility to help create community and maintain a safe and welcoming environment for residents. To view the Residential Life Summer Staff Application, please go to Handshake. Applications will be available starting March 25, 2024, with a priority submission date by April 12, 2024.
- The same University policies that apply during the academic year are in effect during the summer term. Students are expected to comply with the terms of the Summer Housing Contract, the Code of Non-Academic Conduct, and all Community Standards. A copy of the Summer Housing Contract is available for you to review.
Application Process
- Summer Housing Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, however spaces are reserved on a first-come first-serve basis. Applications will not be accepted after Friday, July 12, 2024.
- Students who require an accommodation (including a full-size bed) should contact the appropriate office by April 15th. Information regarding full-sized bed requests to Davison and all other housing accommodations to Accessibility Services can be found here.
- Students will be notified of their status via email.
- We cannot accept changes or extensions to housing contract dates after Friday, July 12, 2024.
- Summer Housing students who break their summer housing contract at any point after the first Friday in May, and Summer Session II students who break their summer housing contract at any point after the first Friday in June, will be charged a $150 contract breakage fee. A student can be charged the breakage fee for any breach of the contract, including moving out early or finding another place before University Housing begins. A refund (if applicable) will be prorated to the date of the return of the key and the release; no refunds, however, will be granted to students who vacate during the last two weeks of their reservation.
Housing Costs
The 2024 summer rate is $24/day.
Students will be charged for the entire length of time they spend in on-campus housing. If you are working for a department that is subsidizing your housing, please contact them to finalize dates and costs for the summer.
