All students must move out of university housing by their corresponding move-out date listed above with the exception of anyone with a confirmed summer housing assignment for Summer 2026. Those students will receive instructions for moving from their Spring assignment to their Summer assignment. 2025-2026 housing ends June 2026, and housing does not continue into Summer 2026. Summer 2026 starts a new housing process, so any current resident must submit a housing application and receive an confirmed assignment in order to remain in housing after June 2026. Summer housing is limited and cannot be guaranteed even for current residents.
