University Housing offers housing through spring break as part of the residence hall contract. No special application or registration is required.

Summer housing is available to all �鶹ӰԺ State students who will be taking summer classes and/or who are enrolled for fall classes. Summer housing for 2024 will be located in Leebrick Hall and the first floor of Centennial Court C. All summer housing rooms will be single rooms.

 Rates include:

• Leebrick Hall Single Room: $200 per week
• Centennial Court C Single Room with Shared Bathroom: $250 per week (very limited availability)

University Housing is offering a 25% discount on the housing room rate to those who live on campus for the entire summer (Sunday, May 12-Satruday, August 3). This discount will be calculated and applied to the Summer Room Rate when the Summer Housing charges are added the student's Bursar Account.

Summer housing is contracted on a weekly basis, starting on Sunday and ending on Saturday each week. You may add or remove weeks from your summer housing application at any point by contacting us no later than Friday at 12 PM before each summer week begins. Students who reside on campus during the spring semester will be able to move directly into their summer housing assignment if they are contracted for the first week of summer housing. All residence hall policies will remain in effect throughout the summer.

Summer housing will end on Saturday, August 3rd. Students who have signed up to live on campus during the upcoming academic year will be able to move into their fall room at this time or as soon as their fall room is ready. Students who are not living on campus during the fall semester will need to move out of on-campus housing by or on Saturday, August 3rd.

Due to the nature of operations on campus during the summer, some interruptions in services may occur. 

If you have applied for Summer Housing, your housing assignment will be sent out the Friday before your Summer Contract is set to begin. If you have additional questions related to summer housing, please contact Ashley Andrews,  Assignments Coordinator, aandre25@kent.edu.

Summer 2024 Housing Contract

�鶹ӰԺ's residence halls close at 5pm on Saturday, December 16, 2023. Students will not have access to residence halls during Winter Break; however, students can leave their belongings in their rooms during break assuming their plans are to return for the spring semester. Students should make sure they take home all items they will need during the break. Your RA will provide more in-depth information concerning winter break and hall closing procedures at a closing floor meeting before finals week. Please plan to attend this meeting.

If you are not returning to �鶹ӰԺ for the spring semester (because of graduation, transfer, withdrawal, etc.) you need to contact your Residence Hall Director or Interim Area Coordinator before finals week in order to schedule a checkout appointment. You will be able to check out during finals week within 24 hours of your last exam or Saturday if you are participating in graduation. For more information on checking out at the end of the fall semester, please see this page.

�鶹ӰԺ State does offer winter break housing for students who need to stay on campus after 5pm on Saturday, December 16, 2023 and before 9am on Sunday, January 14, 2024. Only students with a housing assignment for the entire academic year (fall semester and spring semester) are eligible. Students who are withdrawing, transferring to a different university, studying abroad during the spring semester, or graduating in December are NOT eligible for winter break housing.

As long as a break housing application is completed, students are able to stay in their current fall semester room for the entire break period, or for as many days as needed, at a cost of $25/night, to be billed to each student's KSU Bursar account after the second week of the spring semester.

Please note, new students to campus who did not live on campus during the fall semester will be able to move into their rooms on Saturday before classes start, and will not need to complete a break housing application unless they need to arrive before Saturday, January 14, 2024. New students will first need to check in at their Area Desk to receive their room key.

For students who are interested in winter break housing, please review the information below:

• Meal plans are not active and dining choices on campus are limited during the break. Visit University Culinary Services' website for break dining information.
• The University Housing main office in Korb Hall will be open during winter break on days that the University is open. Residence Hall Directors will maintain office hours during break; however, they may be out of the office at times due to their break/holiday plans.
• The safety assistant staff will be on duty each night of winter break. During winter break, Safety Assistants will be on duty between 5pm and 12am. The safety assistant staff can be reached at 330-672-7004.
• During winter break, the Tri-Towers Area Desk will be open from 8am until 5pm on days that the University is open.
• If you become locked out of your room during winter break during business hours, you will need to contact the Tri-Towers Area Desk. If you become locked out during non-business hours, you can reach a break staff person on duty by calling the Tri-Towers Area Desk at 330-672-3244; this number will be forwarded to the hall director on duty when offices are closed.
• If you have a problem during winter break, during business hours, you may contact winter break staff through the University Housing main office at 330-672-7000. During non-business hours, you can reach a break staff person on duty by calling the Tri-Towers Area Desk at 330-672-3244.

The residence halls will reopen after break on Sunday, January 14, 2024. Again, residents who need to arrive before this date, or stay later than 5pm on Saturday, December 16, 2023 should complete a winter break housing application.

Information for the 2023 Winter Break Room Change Process

Thank you for your interest in completing a winter break room change! Please use the form below to express your interest in this process. This form will remain open until Sunday, December 10 at 5pm.

After completing this form, you may be contacted during finals week (or potentially before), to complete a room change before departing for the semester. This would occur if space is available early and if you are able to complete a room change before the end of finals week.

Otherwise, your Residence Hall Director or Interim Area Coordinator will contact you on Tuesday, December 19 to see if you are interested in moving into any of our available spaces on December 20-21 (Wednesday and Thursday). Completing this interest form does not mean that the space you desire will be available.

Winter break room changes will be limited to the availability of vacant rooms as of December 19. If a previous resident has not properly checked out or is waiting to complete a winter break room change of their own, some spaces may not be available for a winter break room change. University Housing is not anticipating many single rooms/single bedrooms within a suite to be available.

Once we contact you, if you are interested in any available rooms and we initiate a room change, you will need to schedule a time between 8am-3pm on December 20 or 21 to complete the process, and you will be given a 2-hour window to move. Our staff will provide you with specific instructions on how to complete your winter break room change.

By completing this form indicating your interest in a winter break room change, you will not be billed the nightly $25 winter break rate until the night of December 20, should you need to stay past the time our winter break room change period ends and should you not be able to move during finals week or before. However, you will need to submit a winter break housing application.

Should you not be interested in any available options at the end of the semester or should you not be able to complete a winter break room change, we may have additional space available during the spring semester. Beginning at the start of the 3rd week of the spring semester, please check with your Residence Hall Director, Interim Area Coordinator, or Assistant Residence Hall Director to inquire about a spring semester room change.
