Living on Campus - Entire Summer

Thank you for your interest in living with us the entire summer! Summer in Cleveland can be a fun and exciting time!

Summer housing officially starts on Monday, May 25, 2009 and ends on Sunday, August 2, 2009.

Spring Transitional Housing

Students with an existing spring 2009 assignment in a Case residence hall or university-operated Greek House, and will be living on campus for the entire summer, may also choose spring transitional housing. This allows you to stay on campus from May 8 when the residence halls or Greek houses close for the spring semester, through the start of summer housing on May 25.

Students in spring transition would remain in their current spring 2009 assignment until they are able to move into their summer housing assignment. Students can only move into their summer room assignment between Thursday, May 21 and Sunday, May 24, 2009.

Special Note for Current Clarke Tower and Howe Residents:

Due to Clarke Tower and Howe House undergoing renovations this summer, students who have spring transition/may term housing will need to move commencement weekend (May 16-17).  Our goal is to allow students to move directly into their summer assignment.  However, this may not necessarily be possible (primarily for summer Village residents) as we have numerous graduating seniors who will be here until May 18.  More information will be sent out after May 8.

Fall Transitional Housing

Summer housing students with a fall 2009 assignment in a Case residence hall or university-operated Greek house, who have lived in campus for the entire summer, may also choose fall transitional housing. This allows you to stay on campus from August 2 when summer housing ends through August 16 when the residence halls and Greek houses open for the fall semester.

Students in fall transitional housing would remain in their summer housing assignment until they are able to move into their fall housing assignment. Students can only move into their fall housing assignment starting on Saturday, August 8 (10 a.m.) through 12 noon on Monday, August 10, 2009.

Room Rates

All summer charges will be billed via student accounts through the Bursar's Office. Charges for spring transition dates before May 25 will appear on spring bills as an extension charge. Charges for fall transition dates after August 2 will appear on fall bills as an early arrival.

* 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 between May 21 - 24, 2009.

** 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 between August 8 -10, 2009.

Application and Assignment Process

Applications will be available on the MyHousing site starting in mid-April. Applicants must select the period of occupancy, including any transition periods, and accept the summer residence hall agreement when the application is completed. Building and roommate preferences can also be submitted, though Housing cannot guarantee that all requests can be fulfilled.

For students whose fall assignment is in a summer housing building, Housing will attempt to use the same room for the summer assignment wherever possible.

Roommate Requests

Students will be able to submit summer housing roommate requests online.  Guidelines for roommate requests are as follows:

• Your roommate request can contain two to seven individuals
• You are not guaranteed to be the only individuals living in your suite/apartment
• Housing reserves the right to fill the open spaces in your suite/apartment
• Coeducational groups must completely fill the suite/apartment

Summer housing assignments will be made based upon lifestyle characteristics and building preferences listed on the housing application, and roommate requests submitted online.  Students will be notified of their summer housing assignment after the week of April 27, 2009.
