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.

Housing Considerations

Storage During Summer

Current residence hall students who contract for summer school housing and can provide proof of household or renter’s insurance may store items by contacting the Northwest Quad administrative specialist, 479-718-7802, Monday – Friday, during regular business hours.

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.

Disability Accommodation

Please contact the Center for Educational Access (CEA) at 479-575-3104 and set up an appointment to meet with them if you have a disability that may require an accommodation.
