Please do not arrive outside these hours, as there will be no staff available to check you in. If you have an international flight that arrives after 1:00 a.m., please email us at summer.housing@bc.edu to make specific arrangements.
• Check-out: All residents must check out by 12:00 noon on the date of their approved departure at the Summer Welcome Center.
• Early Arrivals & Extensions: Unfortunately, we are not able to house STM Summer Institute students before or after the session dates listed above. We understand that Boston is a popular vacation destination, but unfortunately we cannot provide accommodations for any reason other than classes. PLEASE PLAN YOUR TRAVEL ACCORDINGLY. If you must arrive in the city before your session or stay after it has ended, you may apply and pay to stay in the Summer Guest House. To register for the Guest House, visit bc.edu/guesthouse.

• Furnishings: All student rooms include a desk, study chair, chest of drawers, and bed for each occupant.
• Laundry/Vending: Students will be lent a package of linens upon arrival that must be returned upon departure. Laundry bins will be available on check-out days in the 2nd Floor Lounge. The facilities include a vending area and laundry room that accept either the Eagle-One Card or coins.
• Dining: A number of dining facilities are available. No summer meal plan is available; however, you may find it convenient to add Dining and/or Eagle Bucks to your Eagle-One Card account.

• Phone/Cable Television: Each apartment is wired with four phone lines, four Agora campus network jacks, and five cable TV outlets. Boston College does not supply telephones, answering machines, or televisions, but we encourage STM Summer Institute students to bring their own. We will be able to tell you your specific phone number upon your arrival to campus (simply ask at check-in). The summer phone system does not include long-distance service but will allow 800 numbers. We encourage students to buy prepaid calling cards for long-distance service.

Application Process

The Summer Session Housing Application will be available via the Agora Portal beginning April 20 and are due by June 8. Please note: You will need your BC username and password to access your account and apply for housing. Due to space restrictions, housing assignments will be granted based on the date we receive your application.  Once housing is filled the online application will be closed regardless if the application deadline has not passed.  All students applying for STM Housing must confirm that they have read and agree to the Summer Housing Residence Agreement during the application process.

If you have a specific person with whom you want to share your room or apartment, please indicate so on the application form. You may request a only person who is taking the same sessions as you are. We are unable to "hold" a space for 2 weeks until a friend arrives. Conversely, should your roommate/apartment mate leave earlier than you, we will need to fill the bed space with a new student.

View the Step-by-Step Application Instructions.

Once your Summer Housing Application has been submitted, it will retain the status "Incomplete" until it has been processed by staff. Once it has been processed, you will receive a confirmation email. Application processing will not begin until Tuesday, May 24. In order for the application to be approved, you must be registered for a course within the applicable session. Students not registered upon submission of a Summer Housing Application will not be approved. To prevent a delay in processing, please register for your courses prior to applying for housing.

If you require assistance submitting your application, please call 617-655-5555 between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.

If you have already applied for STM Housing and would like to update your application in any way, please email us at summer.housing@bc.edu by June 8.

Payments & Refunds

Bookings and associated charges will be created for all approved applications using the dates provided in the application. All fees will be charged directly to your student account. All charges are prorated, and a check-in prior to the approved date of arrival or a check-out after the approved date of departure will generate additional charges on your student account. No refunds or adjustments may be made for cancellations or stays shorter than those applied for unless you have cancelled your application via "My ResLife" or have notified summer.housing@bc.edu prior to your approved date of arrival.
