SUMMER HOUSING INFORMATION

If you are a current Spring 2024 resident and have applied for summer housing with the earliest start date of May 11th, you will be able to move into your summer housing assignment on Saturday, May 11th between 10AM - 2PM.

**If for any reason your summer assignment is not prepared for you to move into on May 11th, you will be permitted to remain in your Spring assignment until the summer space is ready. This will be communicated to you by RLUH staff via your Rowan email.** 

You will be permitted to remain in your Spring 2024 housing assignment as a late check-out extension, as long as you have a processed summer housing application and have received your housing assignment information. You do not need to submit a checkout extension request. Your processed summer housing application will be sufficient.

Please monitor your Rowan email for information about your summer housing assignment dates and move-in information.

 Late Stay Requests

Late Stay requests are due by Sunday, April 21st at 11:59 pm. Requests submitted after this date cannot be considered. Residential Learning and University Housing will respond to your request via your Rowan email address. Please note that it may not be possible to approve all extension requests based on the location of your spring housing assignment and the operational need to have the buildings vacant by the posted closing date. Extension requests should be limited to only very extenuating circumstances, which still may not be possible to accommodate.

Residents should plan to vacate their spring assignment by the closing dates posted above. 

For students who fall into one or more of the below categories, a checkout extension will automatically be noted and approved by the RLUH office so the individual student should not submit a request to stay later. The advisor or coordinator of your program will provide our office with the approved list of students and our office will automatically approve your extension. You will be sent a notification via email the week of April 24th stating the date you are approved to remain on campus.
