Spring Closing
As you begin making your summer plans, please remember all residential units must be vacated and keys turned in by Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 12 p.m. (noon).  Only graduating seniors and students who have been pre-approved by the Office of Residential Life can remain in their rooms after Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 12 p.m. (noon). Students who fail to check out of their rooms will incur a late check-out fine of $150.00, and may also incur additional per diem charges until they vacate their rooms.

 Reunion and Commencement Week (please read this section thoroughly):
If you need housing beyond Saturday, May 19, 2012 for one of the reasons below*

*Students working on research and are not living on-campus for the summer are not eligible for housing during Reunion and Commencement week.

Students who need to stay for Reunion and Commencement week must apply through through Residential Life.  Applications are available at http://www.wesleyan.edu/reslife/summer_housing/transition_info.html and are due on Friday, April 27, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.  Please note that applying for an extension does not guarantee the application will be approved.  Only extenuating circumstances will be considered and students will be notified via email the week of May 1, 2012.

Students who are approved to stay past 12:00 p.m. (noon) on May 19, 2012 may be required to move out of their spring housing assignment into a temporary location.  Students living in the Butterfields, Clark, Fauver Residence Hall, Hewitt, International House, and Russian House will be required to relocate if approved to stay beyond May 19th.

Graduating seniors are automatically approved to stay in their current housing assignment until 4:30 p.m. on Monday, May 28, 2012 and do not have to submit an application.
