During the summer season, lodging options include traditional, suite, and apartment style halls. Both double and single rooms are available, including limited ADA accessible spaces. To select the best option for your group, consider the following:

When you stay with Residence Life and Student Housing during the summer months, you can expect wonderful customer service and helpful people. We will do everything we can to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. Each group will be assigned an individual Conference Guest Assistant (CGA) who will help to arrange the group’s check-in and checkout, linen exchanges, and other details specific to your group. Here are some specific things you can expect upon your arrival:
Check-in
Individual or group option. Check-in will be arranged by your CGA and your conference coordinator. Check-in times are determined by the conference coordinator. If guests arrive outside of these hours, they will be directed to the SRC Commons 24-hour Customer Service desk for assistance. When checking in, a Conference Guest Assistant will issue a Proximity fob for the perimeter doors of the building and a room and bathroom key.
Lock-outs
If you are locked out of your room or building, you can contact a Conference Guest Assistant using the number posted throughout the building and on your Guest Information Guide for assistance. Lost keys will result in a charge to the guest via the conference.
Your Room and Hall
An extra long twin bed, desk and chair are provided in each room for every occupant, and include closets and drawers for additional storage.
Linen Exchange
If your conference has made arrangements for linen, the linen will be available upon your arrival. Linen packets include pillow, pillow case, fitted sheet, top sheet, and blanket. If your conference has not rented linen, linen will not be provided to you.
Traditional and suite-style halls provide:
