HOUSING INFORMATION

Summer Housing students will be assigned to Aquinas Hall. Aquinas is a co-ed, non-smoking, suite style residence hall, with one bathroom per suite shared by two bedrooms. Only in the event of space constraints will triples be assigned during the summer sessions. If triples are not needed, no furniture will be removed from rooms that are already set up as triples. For more information about the residence halls, please visit our Residence Halls Information web page.

A group of student staff, Summer Resident Assistants (SRAs), will be assigned to each floor during the summer to assist the residents as well as to enforce policies and procedures. There will also be a Residence Hall Director (RHD) and a Residence Coordinator (RC) in the residence hall as professional staff.

ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION

If you have a preferred roommate and/or suitemate, indicate his/her name in the proper space on the application. Preferred roommates must mutually request each other. Please be sure to fill out the information related to housing portion on your application if you do not have a roommate request and in case your roommate request is not approved for summer housing.

We expect that ALL residents will receive a roommate; and that suites will be assigned to capacity for at least one of the summer sessions, if not all. Our office reserves the right to make roommate assignments without prior notification to the current resident. If you are requesting a single room, you will be notified in the approval email whether or not you have been assigned to a single room and your student account will be charged according to the rate table below.

REFUND POLICY

All monies will be refunded if a request for summer housing is cancelled prior to the student’s scheduled check in date.

Refunds will be calculated based on dates of occupancy of the assigned space.

If a student does not check in to his/her assignment by 6pm or the scheduled check in time, if later than 6pm, on the requested move in day, the assignment will be cancelled.

Students are charged for the entire time he/she resides in the room and his/her belongings occupy a space in a room. Occupancy is defined as the time the student’s belongings remain in the residence hall and/or the time the student is in possession of the key until the key is returned to a staff member and the student checks out from the assignment, whichever is later.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS…

Can I move in early?

We are unable to accommodate early move-in requests. There is not time to prepare the rooms for students who wish to move in early. If you have an academic need, are an athlete participating in approved team activities or have circumstances you believe would warrant an approval for early move-in, please e-mail us at shuhousing@shu.edu . Vacation or travel plans are not considered a valid reason for early move-in.

Why didn't I get my preferred roommate?

We honor all mutual roommate requests when there are empty double rooms. When empty double rooms are no longer available, we cannot honor roommate requests, and we will do our best to assign students with a compatible roommate.

How can I switch roommates?

If two students wish to room together and all of the involved parties agree, a roommate swap is possible. The two people moving will need to send an e-mail to the Residence Hall Director (RHD) requesting approval for this switch. Students who switch roommates without approval can be found judicially responsible for violation of housing policy and will be charged a housing fine of $150.

Can I have a room to myself?

Based on room availability, we may be able to grant some students’ request for a single room. The student will be charged an additional fee per summer session as indicated on the summer housing license. We will give preference to single room requests from students who have been approved for the entire summer in housing.
