Extended Housing

Residence Life assigns people to rooms in the order we received their housing contract agreement form and housing deposit. At the beginning of each fall term we anticipate having over 100% occupancy. When all of our regular residence hall rooms are filled we place those students who didn't sign their housing contracts as early as other students into extended (temporary) housing.

There are two types of extended housing rooms: sharing a room with a resident assistant and converted lounges. A student will only be in extended housing until another space opens up and it is their turn to move (based on the date we receive the housing contract agreement form). We find that the majority of people placed in extended housing would like to remain in extended housing even when space opens up. We cannot accommodate this request as we need that space for other reasons, so they have to move.

Each extended housing room will has 3 sets of bunk beds, 6 dressers, a table with 6 chairs, 3 refrigerators, and 2 TV/computer boxes. Numbers may vary slightly. All extended housing spaces are equipped with cable TV and internet access. The rooms are located on regular residence hall floors adjacent to our permanent rooms and are securable with room keys issued to all occupants. Regardless of the length of stay, residence hall staff members remain available to provide the same levels of assistance, interest, and information-sharing that all other residents receive.
