Summer Housing at Brandeis
Summer housing is available for Brandeis students who are working on-campus for the summer. This page should provide helpful information regarding the summer housing process, transitional housing, and summer housing policies.
For the summer of 2008, students will be housed in the Foster Mods. Students can start living in summer housing on May 27, 2008, and can stay as late as August 8, 2008. The rate for summer housing is $120.00/week. There is no prorating.
Students enrolled in Brandeis Summer School who wish to live on-campus must obtain housing through the Summer School. Information regarding Summer School housing is available here. Summer School housing is managed by the Summer School and not by the Department of Residence Life.

Summer Housing Process
Obtaining summer housing is a fairly simple process. Below are the steps that students, faculty, and staff must take in order for students to receive summer housing.
Step 1: Apply
Student completes the Summer Housing Application. The application is an electronic form and will be available starting April 1. Forms must be submitted by April 20 to guarantee summer placement.
Step 2: Department Follow-up
Following completion of the application, an email will be sent to the student's supervisor or the supervisor's Department Coordinator containing the information the student submitted on the application. The supervisor or Department Coordinator must then verify with the Department of Residence Life that the student is employed by the department and submit to Residence Life the Department's chart string.
Step 3: Transitional Housing, Part I
If the student wishes to live on-campus between the end of final exams and the beginning of the summer, the student must complete the Transitional Housing Request form. Transitional Housing costs a flat rate of $200. Students will be billed directly for transitional housing. See the Transitional Housing section below for more information.
Step 4: Move-In
Students will be notified of their summer residence by May 1. Keys for summer housing can be picked up on May 27 starting at 10 AM from the Department of Residence Life in Usdan.
Step 5: Transitional Housing, Part II
At the end of the summer, students will have the option again to request transitional housing. A new Transitional Housing Request must be completed. The cost of transitional housing for this period is $200. See the Transitional Housing section below for more information.
Step 6: Pay Day
At the end of the summer, the Department of Residence Life will bill the student's department for housing expenses. It is up to individual department whether to collect reimbursement or not.
Transitional Housing
Transitional housing is offered for students who are moving from spring on-campus housing to summer on-campus housing and from summer on-campus housing to fall on-campus housing. We recognize that it can be difficult for some students to travel to and from home over short periods of time during the summer. Transitional housing allows students to transition from spring housing to summer housing and from summer housing to fall housing without leaving campus. Transitional housing is NOT available for students moving from on-campus to off-campus housing or from off-campus to on-campus housing.
This year we have moved the Transitional Housing Request form to an electronic form. Once the form is submitted, the Department of Residence Life will add the student to the transitional housing list.
The cost for transitional housing is $200 for each transitional period. The Department of Residence Life will bill the student's account directly for transitional housing. For the spring to summer, transitional housing begins May 10 and runs to May 27. For summer to fall, transitional housing begins August 8 and runs to August 25.
Transitional housing is NOT a storage option. Students who are granted transitional housing are expected to be on-campus during this period. Spaces may be available at any point, and students may be able to move into their new spaces early.
For spring to summer, students may be assigned to temporary spaces for transitional housing. For summer to fall, students will move into their fall assignments for transitional housing.
