How do I get into the summer housing program?
To qualify for the summer housing program, you must be either working on
campus or be enrolled in summer session classes. To be eligible for the
program, you must be enrolled as a student for Fall 2021. If you have
graduated in May and have not yet started your graduate studies you are
eligible for the summer employment program through August 14, 2021.
To apply for the program, you will need to
apply on-line for the position that interests you and complete the
summer employment questionnaire. Please review the
Summer Program Guidelines and the
Summer Housing Contract. If you have already spoken to your
supervisor regarding a job for the summer you will still need to
complete the application on-line.

What if I lose my job?
Summer housing is only for summer student workers and/or students
enrolled in class. If you lose your job during the summer, you will need
to speak to Human Resources immediately, who will work with you to
search for alternative employment on campus. If you are not taking
classes, you will have up to 48 hours to find other employment or you
will need to leave the premises until Fall.
If you are enrolled in classes and lose your job, you will be charged on
a pro-rated basis the remainder of your stay on campus.
Back to the Top
Is the summer housing program free?
No, summer housing is not a scholarship or free. You will not be charged
for your stay on campus if you are working a minimum of 20 hours per
week for 10 weeks. The value of
the housing will be added to your W2 at the end of the year. This is
called imputed income. For questions regarding the taxes on inputed
income please contact the Payroll Department. For questions regarding
the value of the housing please contact the Student Financial
Services Department.

What is imputed income?
Imputed income refers to the value of something received that is shown
on the W2 for the value, but not paid for by the recipient. For more
