Reunion & Commencement and Summer Transition Housing

Students living in Bennet, Westco, Hewitt, and select program houses cannot stay in their unit beyond May 16, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET. Any students in these units, except graduating seniors, residing in Bennet, Westco, and Hewitt, who need housing after this date will be required to relocate to their summer housing residence (graduating seniors are permitted to remain in these units until Monday, May 25, 2026, at 4:00 PM 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. 

Summer housing will be in Clark and Nicolson.  Most rooms are double occupancy.  The cost is $25/day. 

Note: The spring housing contracts ends on May 16, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET.  Summer housing charges begin on the date of occupancy on/after May 16, 2026, even though the student may not be in their actual summer assignment until a later date. Furthermore, the Fall contract begins on September 4, 2026. Summer housing charges will extend through this date even if the student will have transitioned to their fall assignment prior to this date.

Students on campus after May 16, 2026, who do not need to move to transition housing will be expected to transition to their summer residence beginning May 22, 2026. Students remaining in summer housing beyond Summer Session II, through the beginning of the fall semester, will be expected to transition to their fall assignment in early to Mid-August, and should NOT make any plans to be away from campus during this time.  Failure to be available will result in the disposal of personal belongings and lock changes at the student’s expense.  This is necessary because the University needs adequate time to prepare the building for fall occupants.

Please note that there is no application for Reunion & Commencement Housing. Faculty and staff will be requesting student employees that need to remain on campus directly to our office. If students are applying for Summer Housing and will need R&C housing, they should indicate that they will need housing beginning on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
