Summer Academic Housing

What is Summer Housing

Body

SIGN UP FOR JUST THE WEEKS YOU ARE TAKING CLASSES. 

There's no need to commit to a lease/sublet for the entire summer.  Live with other summer academic students in one of our residence halls with access to a fully staffed main desk and a residence director on duty 24/7. Questions? Email us at: reslife@uvm.edu

LOCATION: Christie/Wright/Patterson on Redstone Campus 

Who Can Apply

Body

You must be enrolled in at least one UVM summer academic class. If you drop the class, you will be required to move out within 24 hours. It is possible to sign up to stay through between sessions, but there cannot be more than a one-week gap between the end of one session and the beginning of the next. 

Need to be on campus this summer,  but not taking summer classes?  University Event Services provides non-academic temporary  and  intern  housing for those taking non-credit-bearing classes, pursuing internships, or employed in summer jobs. Please contact summerhousing@uvm.edu or see their FAQs for more information.
