Living On Campus - Summer 2023

The housing application for Summer 2023 will be available soon!

Summer housing officially starts on Sunday, May 28, 2023 and ends on Sunday, August 6, 2023.

Spring Transitional Housing

(only available if living in summer housing beginning on May 28)

Students with an existing spring 2023 assignment in a CWRU residence hall or university-operated Greek House, and who wish to continue into the start of summer housing may also choose spring transitional housing. This allows you to stay on campus from May 12 when the residence halls or Greek houses close for the spring semester, through the start of summer housing on May 28.

Students in spring transition would remain in their current spring 2023 assignment until they are able to move into their summer housing assignment.

• Students will move into their summer housing assignment between May 25-27 or unless otherwise communicated. It is expected that you remain on campus during transition so you are prepared to move at anytime.  You will receive email communication indicating which timeframe you will be expected to move.
• Students are expected to pack early and be ready to move when they receive the email notification to move into their summer assignment.
• All students will be moved into their summer housing assignment by Saturday, May 27.
• Students taking a May Term study abroad class are not eligible for spring transition housing.
• University Housing will notify students as soon as possible if any special move situations occur.

Fall Transitional Housing

(only available for summer residents with a fall housing contract)

Summer housing students with a fall 2023 assignment in a CWRU residence hall or university-operated Greek house, who are on campus through the end of summer housing (August 6), may also choose fall transitional housing. This allows you to stay on campus from August 6 when summer housing ends through August 23 when the residence halls and university-operated Greek houses open for the fall semester for returning students.

Students in fall transitional housing would remain in their summer housing assignment until they are able to move into their fall housing assignment.

• Students will move into their fall housing assignment between Thursday, August 10 - Saturday August, 12, unless otherwise communicated due to early arrivals or building preparations. It is expected that you remain on campus during transition so you are prepared to move at anytime.
• Students are expected to pack early and be ready to move when they receive the email notification to move into their fall assignment.
• All students will be moved into their fall housing assignment by Saturday, August 12, 2023.

Room Rates

Fall and spring transition housing is charged as a flat fee.  If you select spring transition housing, you MUST be living in summer housing through at least Friday, June 2.  If you depart any earlier, you will still be billed through this date.

During the summer, housing is charged at a reduced nightly rate, and you will be billed based on the amount of time you stay on campus.  The nightly rate for each room type is as follows:

• Clarke Tower
  • Double--$22/night
  • Single--$24/night
  • Large Single--$26/night
• Stephanie Tubbs Jones
  • Single Bedroom (any sized apartment)--$38.50/night

All summer charges will be billed via student accounts through the Office of Student Financial Services.

Here are a few examples of room costs, based on summer academic sessions.  To determine the rate for the days you want to live on campus, use this date calculator!  (Do not include the end date in your calculation, as we go by the number of nights you stay on campus). 

* Spring Transition is only available for spring residents with a summer contract. Students stay in their spring assignment until they move into their summer assignment.

** Fall Transition is only available for summer residents with a fall contract. Students stay in their summer assignment until they move into their fall assignment.

Application and Assignment Process

The housing application for Summer 2023 will be available in early April!

Applicants must select their dates of occupancy, including any transition periods, and accept the summer residence hall agreement when the application is completed. Building and roommate preferences also can be submitted, though Housing cannot guarantee that all requests can be fulfilled.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the summer.  We will begin to make assignments the week of May 1. If you have a specific roommate preference please submit your housing application by Sunday, April 30.

Roommate Requests

Students will be able to submit summer housing roommate requests online at MyHousing, once the housing application is available. Guidelines for roommate requests are as follows:

• Create your roommate group by inviting each roommate to join your group.
• You will be able to have a group of four to eight (4-8) in Clarke Tower, and a group of up to four in Stephanie Tubbs Jones.
• You are not guaranteed to be the only individuals living in your room or apartment.
• Housing reserves the right to fill the open spaces in your room or apartment.
• Coeducational groups must completely fill the apartment as follows:
  • Clarke Tower - a minimum of four students
  • STJ - must completely fill a two person or four person apartment

Summer housing assignments will be made based upon lifestyle characteristics and building preferences listed on the housing application, and roommate requests submitted online. We will begin to make assignments the week of May 1. If you have a specific roommate preference, please submit your housing application by Sunday, April 30.
