How it works
We're glad you've chosen to live with us during summer break! You are eligible for summer housing if you fit the requirements listed below.

- If you are participating in a research laboratory, athletic training/competition or on-campus internship.
- If you are a May 2024 graduate, you must move out of the residence halls by July 1, 2024.
Note: non-UI students may receive housing if they are part of a summer camp or conference sponsored by the University of Iowa that has arranged for housing as a part of its program.
