Summer housing applications are now available for those interested in living on campus this summer. 

The Office of Residential Life is excited to offer a summer housing program for students interested in engaging and developing themselves as students over the summer. Students remaining on campus during the summer of 2019 will reside in our newest residence hall, The Tower.  

Who is eligible to apply for summer housing?

You must be a current or graduating Carthage student, and you must meet one of the following criteria:

  • Be enrolled in a summer course at Carthage.
  • Be a participant in the SURE program.
  • Be a participant in the Urban Teacher Preparation Program.
  • Be a student employee for an on-campus position

Priority is given to students meeting one of the criteria above. Students who are participating in an off-campus internship will be considered, but not given first priority for summer housing. Please note: students working on campus are required to work 20 hours a week during their on-campus summer employment.

How do I apply for summer housing? When is the deadline to apply?

You must complete a summer housing application to be considered for summer housing. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on Friday, May 3, 2019. All students requesting summer housing after May 3 must email the Office of Residential Life. Students will be notified of their summer housing application status and/or placement no later than Friday, May 10, 2019.

Verification from a current faculty/staff member or supervisor is also required as part of the application process. Please be aware that space is limited for summer housing. Applications will be approved on a space-available basis.
