Interim Housing
University Housing has an option for current residents to stay on campus in their summer room assignment between the Spring and Summer sessions. You must be enrolled in both Spring and the first 5-week or the 10-week Summer sessions to qualify for interim housing.
Contact your hall administrative assistant to complete an extended stay request form for interim housing.
The nightly charge of $30 is billed to your student account and is not part of your summer or academic term charges.
Students must move from their spring room into their summer room from 1-4 p.m., Tuesday, May 17.

Items may be placed in storage at Northwest Quad May 9 and 10, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. by appointment only.

Hello,
This summer I will be taking classes during the May intersession and during both of the 5 week sessions. I will be living off campus during this time. I’d like to know how I can sign up for a summer meal plan.
Thanks
We will contact you by email, Ezra. Thanks for asking.
Hello,
I am in the same situation as Ezra, I am living off campus and would like to purchase a meal plan
I’ve emailed you directly to give you more details about purchasing a plan.
Hello,
I will not be enrolled in summer school this summer, but I will still be working in Arkansas and would like an off campus meal plan. Is the meal plan the same for on campus and off campus? Thank you,
Krista Kolbinskie
I’ve emailed you directly. However, I do believe that summer meal plans are only divided between 5- and 10-week plans not on- and off-campus meal plans.
