Incoming freshmen who will be taking UA courses this summer can live on campus for one or more summer terms (Summer I, Summer II or both). The application for summer housing is a separate application than the housing application for Academic Year 24-25 for fall and spring. Interested students need to apply for Summer Housing as well as fall and spring, if applicable. Summer housing assignments are in different buildings than the academic year. Students will be assigned to an available space for summer in one of the summer buildings. Students should be prepared to move their belongings from their summer building to their fall building at the end of summer term.
