Summer Application

Summer housing will be available to students who are taking a class, participating in research, or have other academic requirements. International students and those who consider university housing to be their primary residence will also qualify.

NOTE: Students with other summer requirements will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Students may select one move-in and one move-out date and a nightly charge will apply for the entire period requested. 

IMPORTANT: Students will be allowed to select dates based on their spring housing status and summer school registration. Please read the limitations below before submitting an application:

Students’ currently residing on campus who wish to move directly to summer housing will be offered the opportunity to select “transitional housing”.

• Students requesting this option will remain in their spring assignment until Friday, May 24 when they are required to move to their summer assignment.
• A nightly charge based on spring room type will apply until the move to Summer Housing.
• Students requesting "transitional housing" should NOT request "Late Stay Housing".

• Students who check out of spring housing and wish to return for the summer should answer "No" when offered "Transitional housing".
• Students must select an “Expected Summer Arrival Date” of May 27 or later. This also applies to UB students not living on campus for spring 2024. 
• For example, if a resident checks out of their spring housing after their last final exam on May 16, they can return for summer housing beginning May 27. 
• Students choosing this option must check out of spring housing and remove all belongings by 5 pm on May 22.
• Students currently living off-campus will not be offered the option of “transitional housing” and can select an Expected Summer Arrival date starting May 27.

Summer Housing ends on August 3 after the conclusion of Summer Session II classes. Students must select an “Expected Summer Departure Date” of August 3, 2024, or earlier.

Exceptions to the August 3 departure date – Available for Students residing in UB on-campus housing for Fall semester 2024 ONLY: 

• Students registered for Summer Session courses ending on August 16 (ex. Summer Session III) may select an “Expected Summer Departure Date” up to August 15, 2024
• If such students intend to leave for summer and return to campus for fall move-in, they must check out and remove all belongings by their “Expected Summer Departure Date”
• If such students wish to move directly from summer housing to fall 2024 housing, they must select an Expected Summer Departure Date” of August 15.  They will be required to move out of their summer assignment and into their fall assignment on that date.
• Exceptions to the August 3 departure date will be considered for extenuating circumstances on a case by case basis.
