Summer Housing

Students are eligible for on-campus housing during their enrollment in in-person Summer Session classes at Boston College. The dates of each session can be found on the Student Services page. Should the student withdraw from their courses, they will no longer be eligible to live in university housing, and are expected to move out within 24 hours. 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.

Select Boston College offices are granted housing accommodations for their student employees. Please consult with your employer to confirm your eligibility.  Should a student's employment or research position be terminated for any reason, the 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. 

In addition, supervisors are required to reach out to sumhouse@bc.edu to request a summer on-campus stay for their student employees or researchers. On-campus stays must be approved prior to students moving in.

The Summer Housing Application will be available on the Agora Portal by the end of March. All students applying for Summer Session Housing must confirm that they have read and agree to the Summer Housing Residency Agreement and the Conditions of Residency during the application process. Please note that applications must be fully completed in order to be approved.

All student housing will be in air-conditioned apartments with living rooms and kitchens. All students should anticipate sharing an apartment with 1-5 other students. 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.

All students requesting a placement based on a medical condition, psychological or physical disability must register or re-register with the Disability Services Office. Students will be notified via their BC email account once their request(s) have been reviewed and a decision has been made. Please note that any academic year accommodations must be re-registered in order to be utilized for the summer term.

The facilities also include a vending area and laundry room that accept either the BC Eagle ID card or credit card. 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 BC Eagle ID card account to use at the dining halls. A list of the available dining halls and their schedules is available through dining services.

All students granted Summer Housing may start checking in at the Summer Welcome Center in Stayer Hall at 3 P.M. Students must check out of their housing by 11 A.M.  Please email sumhouse@bc.edu for questions regarding the transition schedule.  

Improper or late check out, failure to check out, excessive trash, or room damage will result in fines and University disciplinary action.

No expections are made to the check in or check out dates. The maintenance of the residence halls is carefully and densely scheduled and cannot be changed without causing significant conflicts. Please be sure to carefully review our dates and rates when planning travel and vacation around and during Summer Housing.

All undergraduate students will be charged a daily housing rate ($34 per person for air-conditioned rooms, or $22.25 for non-air conditioned) for every night they are checked into their on-campus space. Approved graduate student course groups may be assigned to single rooms at a rate of $66 per night. All charges will be applied directly to a student's account. Failure to properly check in and out at the Welcome Center in Stayer may result in additional charges being added to student accounts.

No refunds or adjustments may be made for cancellations or stays shorter than those applied for unless you have canceled your application via "My ResLife" or have notified sumhouse@bc.edu prior to your approved date of arrival.
