Apply For Housing, Summer 2013

Please review the information below thoroughly and carefully, as some details regarding Summer 2013 Housing have changed.

You must be enrolled in one or more VCU Summer 2013 class sessions in order to be eligible for on-campus summer housing. Students enrolled for summer who are assigned to VCU housing for Fall 2013 may choose to live in university housing during any or all of the Summer 2013 housing assignment dates, regardless of when your summer classes begin or end. Students enrolled for summer who are not assigned to Fall housing may live in summer housing only during the time frame that corresponds to their summer class dates.

Before beginning the electronic summer housing application process, please read through ALL the information included on this page.

When to Apply

The Summer 2013 housing application process is now accessible online.

Information You Need to Begin

You will need your VCU student i.d. number ("V" + 8 numeric digits) to access the online summer housing application system.

How to Apply

You may apply for Summer 2013 housing by clicking the MyVCUHousing link, located at the bottom of this page. To complete your summer housing application, carefully follow the instructions and prompts noted on each page within that online portal.

Available Residence Halls

Monroe Park campus: If you are attending summer classes on the Monroe Park campus, the Honors College is the available summer housing option. All rooms are singles, each with a private bath.

MCV campus: If you are a current graduate or health-care professional student and will be attending summer classes or continuing a program on the MCV campus, you may choose to live in the MCV Low Rise halls. All rooms are singles, with central hall bath.

New incoming graduate or health-care professional students for Fall 2013: If you are applying for Fall Housing and also require VCU housing for summer (due to the July or August start time for your program, or due to your need to arrive on campus early), you must complete both a Fall 2013-Spring 2014 housing application online and an electronic Summer 2013 housing application.

Summer Housing Dates

If you are currently assigned to VCU Housing for Fall 2013 and will be registered for any summer class session, you will be permitted to request any or all Summer 2013 housing assignment dates. However, please see the Transition Weeks* exceptions, below, regarding online sign-up.

On your summer housing application, you will indicate the dates you wish to reside on campus. In most instances, Move-In dates correspond to the Sunday immediately prior to the Monday start date for each summer class session. Move-Out is based on the final date of your summer class(es) or the move-out date you indicate on your summer housing application.

Your official move-in and move-out dates will be noted on your Summer 2013 Housing Assignment Notification Letter, which will be sent to you via the VCU email system on or around May 1, 2013.

After submitting your electronic summer housing application, if you decide to take additional summer classes, you will not be able to add more housing dates online. Instead, you must email the VCU Central Housing Office at vcuhousing@vcu.edu.

• Sunday, May 19, 2013
• Sunday, June 9, 2013
• Sunday, June 23, 2013

If you are unable to check in on the Sunday before your class begins, you may check in week days between 2 - 5 p.m. If circumstances make it impossible for you to check in during afternoon hours on these specific days, go to the Honors College hall Security Desk and request the staff there to direct you to the hall's area office; however, please note that office is open 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday only. Therefore, if you are arriving to check in "after hours," the hall's Security Desk staff will contact the on-call resident assistant to help you.
