  • Email livingoncampus@uconn.edu at least 5 business days before your departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m moving in on Wednesday, can I just be charged for half of the week?

No, as we bill on a flat weekly basis, you will be charged for the full week.

I am not a UConn student, but I am coming to the area from another University for an internship, can I live on campus during the summer?

No, you must be a current UConn student with a UConn student ID to potentially be eligible for Summer Housing. If you are a part of a larger group looking to plan a conference, please contact: conferences@uconn.edu

I work for a vendor on campus (such as Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks), am I eligible for Summer Housing?

No, to be eligible as a student employee, you must be working for a university department, which will need to be verified by your university professional staff supervisor.

I would prefer to live in an apartment over the summer, may I live there instead?

I won’t need the meal plan over the summer, how can I opt out of this?

If living in Connecticut Hall or South Campus, you are required to have a meal plan and cannot opt out of it. If you have any questions on meal plans, please contact Dining Services directly: Home | Dining Services

Can I be placed into a single for the summer?

The answer is likely no. Our single availability is extremely limited for the summer. As a result, students will only be assigned to a single if they have an approved accommodation for a single through CSD: UConn CSD

Can I request to live with a specific roommate?

Yes, you can. We accept roommate requesta via the summer housing application, however we cannot guarantee that requests will be fulfilled. Our team will do our best to accommodate such requests.
