Dear Commencement and Reunion Guests,

There are four types of accommodations available: single (1 twin sized bed), double (2 twin sized beds), suite (4-6 twin sized beds) and apartment (4-8 twin sized beds). Each room includes a set of bed linens including pillow, blanket, sheets and towels. The standard room rate is $50 per bed, per night, and there is a two night minimum for all reservations. The University also has a limited number of rooms with a private bath offered for an additional flat rate of $50. In addition to the standard nightly room rate, a $100 flat fee will be assessed for suite-style accommodations and $125 flat fee for apartments. Suite-style accommodations include a common area and apartments include a small kitchen, common area and bathroom. Please note that there are a limited number of apartments, suites and rooms with a private bath. Assignments are issued on a first-come first-served basis including those with special housing accommodation requests or needs.

For those of you celebrating a reunion, we will do our best to assign you to a room with your reunion class. Your reservation requests will be processed in the order they are received.
