Students Taking Summer Session Classes
Housing for undergraduate students registered in in-person Summer Session classes at Boston College is broken up into two sessions. The dates of each session can be found on our dates and rates. Housing during both sessions is open to anyone enrolled in undergraduate classes at Boston College. Should the student withraw from their courses, they will no longer be eligible to live in university housing. The student is required to email Res Life Summer Housing at sumhouse@bc.edu immediately to arrange their move out.
Those applying for summer session housing should register for their courses prior to applying for housing. Housing can not be granted until the student has registered for courses.
Student Employees at BC
Summer Housing is available to students employed by a BC office in an approved summer position supporting summer residence hall operations. Should the student's employment be terminated for any reason, that student is no longer eligible to live in university housing. The student is required to email sumhouse@bc.edu immediately to arrange their move out. Housing for undergraduate employees is broken up into two sessions. The dates can be found on our dates and rates section.
Application Process:
The Summer Housing Application will be available on the Agora Portal in late April. All students applying for Summer Session Housing must confirm that they have read and agree to the Summer Housing Residence Agreement during the application process. If the dates you would like to apply for span both sessions, apply for Summer Sessions 1 & 2, and specify your arrival and departure dates. If you have already applied for Session 1 housing and would like to extend your stay for Session 2, please email sumhouse@bc.edu so that we may work with you to adjust your application.
Accomodation Information: Location, Furnishings, and Dining:
Students are housed in double occupancy rooms in the Reservoir Apartments. Double occupancy rooms mean each student will have a roommate. Students with approved housing accomodations through Disability Services will indicate such on their application and all approved housing accomodations will be met. To register through Disability Services for new accomodations, please click here.
All student housing will be in air-conditioned apartments with living rooms and kitchens. Please note that cooking utensils and dinnerware are not provided. Furnishings in these rooms include: a desk, study chair, dresser, and bed for each occupant. Students are responsible for providing their own linens and lamp for rooms. The facilities also include a vending area and laundry room that accept either the Eagle BC ID card or coins. Dining facilities are available, however, there is no summer meal plan offered. Students might find it convenient to add Dining and/or Eagle Bucks to their Eagle BC ID card account to use at the dining halls.
