Summer Housing

Students Taking Summer Session Classes

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 withraw 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.

Student Employees at BC

Summer Housing is available to students employed by a BC office in an approved summer position supporting summer campus 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.
