Summer Resident Housing

Eligible applicants can choose to have a full summer contract (May 16-Aug. 7) or a nightly contract.

Eligible applicants can choose to have a full summer contract (May 16-Aug. 7) or a nightly contract.

• Full Summer Contract: UWRF students with a 2026-27 housing contract who have signed a full summer contract may move directly into their 2026-27 housing assignment August 7-29 at no additional cost.
• Nightly Contract: Aug. 7 is the last date that nightly contract students are able to live in summer housing. Students with nightly contracts who will be living on campus for fall 2026 and are seeking to move in early (before the standard Aug. 29 fall move-in day) will need to log into the Housing Portal and sign an "Early Arrival" contract once it becomes available during the summer.

All rooms are single rooms and available either at the full summer rate or at the nightly rate. If students wish to pair up as roommates, the cost per person is the same.

• Full summer contract (May 16-August 7): $1,500
• Nightly contract (May 16-August 7): $25/night
   

UWRF students will have the summer housing costs billed to their eSIS account.

• Full summer contracts: Will be billed $500 on June 1, July 1 and August 1.
  • There is no additional cost for August 7-29 for students moving into their fall 2026 on-campus room.
• Nightly contracts: Full cost for duration of stay will be billed upon check in.

Full-summer contract residents with a 2026-27 housing contract: Will move to your 2026-27 housing assignment on Friday, Aug. 7, or as soon as the room is available. UWRF students with a 2026-27 housing contract may move directly into their 2026-27 housing assignment August 7-29 at no additional cost. More details will come regarding your check out process.

Full-summer contract residents without a 2026-27 housing contract: Will need to move out on Friday, Aug. 7, by 4 p.m. If you need to stay longer, then an email must be sent the week of August 7 to reslife@uwrf.edu requesting a later move out date. More details will come regarding your check out process.

Nightly contract residents: 

• Schedule an appointment at least 24 business hours in advance of your move out.

  • Contact your summer hall’s area coordinator or a resident assistant to schedule a time for moving out on your move out day. You must be checked out by 10 p.m. on your scheduled move out day to avoid being billed for additional nights.
