Graduating Students

Graduating students are not charged for, and do not need to request, extended housing for the period from May 17 at noon to May 26 at noon. This period is automatically extended for seniors so they may attend Commencement. Any graduating student who needs housing after May 26 at 12pm ET must request extended housing.

Extended Housing Requests

Beginning in March or April, all on-campus students will be asked to submit their spring departure date via the Spring 2025 Departure form. Students who input a departure date beyond closing (May 17 for non-graduating students or May 26 for graduating students) will be directed to the Extended Housing Request Form to provide more information about their request. The approval of extended housing requests is not guaranteed. 

Pricing and Billing

All extended housing is billed to the student's account at a rate of $45 per night per student.

Students who will remain on campus due to a University-sponsored activity (e.g. on-campus employment or athletic competition) and who have their housing costs sponsored by a department may note that in the Spring 2024 Departure Form. The Office of Residential Life will confirm with that department 1) whether they are sponsoring the housing costs and 2) the specific dates being sponsored. Fully sponsored students will see charges and credits appear on their account. If a student departs outside the date(s) noted by their sponsor, that student is responsible for all housing charges for the non-sponsored days at a rate of $45 per day.

Relocation

During Commencement & Reunion Weekend, some residence halls will be converted to hotel-style housing for Commencement Guests (friends and family of the members of the Class of 2025), and Reunion Guests (alumni celebrating class year reunions). This housing is commonly known as Commencement & Reunion Housing.

For this reason, non-graduating students who receive extended housing between May 17 and May 26 will have to relocate into designated Extended Housing buildings if they currently live in a Commencement & Reunion building. Any student approved to stay after May 26 may have to relocate as not all residence halls are online for summer housing.

Students who are approved for extended housing and have to relocate will have the opportunity to note one student with or near whom they would like to live during this period. Please note that students who already live in Extended Housing buildings will not be able to request a voluntary relocation.

Graduate Center A will undergo an exciting renovation during the summer, and will therefore be offline to all residents-including graduating students--beginning on Saturday, May 17 at 12pm.

A full list of building designations during this period will be posted to this website as soon as designations are finalized.

Departments intending to sponsor students during the extended housing period must complete a brief form and upload a roster to it utiziling the template provided by Residential Life by the deadline shared by Residential Life.

The student Extended Housing Request form will go live in March or April. The Office of Residential Life will cross reference their responses with the information provided by departments to ensure each student is accounted for and their departure date is accurately recorded. All students who need extended housing, including those being sponsored by departments, must fill out this form. 

The departmental cost of this housing is $45 per night per student.
