Summer Housing

Campus Resources and Accommodations
Applications are now available at Residential Life and Resident Education, 100 Upton Hall, Gorham, or call 207-780-5240 to request a mailed or faxed application.

To qualify for on-campus accommodations during the summer, students must be registered at U.S.M. for Summer 2009 or pre-registered for Fall 2009 classes. Past due Spring 2009 charges must be cleared prior to assignment. In most cases, summer housing charges must be paid in full prior to summer check in. However, a payment plan option may be available to USM students applying for full summer housing. Please contact the Student Billing office prior to May 1 at 780-5200 to discuss a payment plan.

Nightly, weekly, and full summer accommodations in doubles and singles are available in Robie Hall on the Gorham campus beginning Sunday, May 17, 2009 with a final move out date of Friday, August 21, 2009. Students must make arrangments for other accommodations between Friday, August 21 and their official fall move in date. Continuing residential students will be allowed to move just belongings into their fall rooms at the end of the summer housing period. No room key will be issued, and staff will not check students in at this time. Singles may be limited and are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If a double room is not fully occupied and no roommate is specified on the application, a roommate may still be assigned.

Furnishings include a bed, desk, desk chair, closet(s), drawer space and MicroFridge unit (combination microwave, refrigerator and freezer). Please leave the MicroFridge clean upon check out, or a $25.00 cleaning fee may be assessed. Linen may be rented on a nightly or weekly basis, or guests may provide their own. Each room has a main light, but guests may want to bring a study light for task lighting. A common kitchen is available in Robie Hall.

Bathrooms are community style and separate for men and women. Please, no pets in the residence halls besides fish in aquariums, seeing eye dogs or simian aids. Health and fire regulations prohibit cooking in residence hall rooms.

Limited meal plans may be available during the summer months; please call Dining Services at 780-5420 to inquire or see www.southernmaine.campusdish.com for dates, times and locations. Numerous restaurants are within a short walking distance, and a Hannaford grocery store is about a 10 minute walk away.

Registration and account status will be verified prior to making a housing assignment. A confirmation letter with room assignment, check-in information and balance due will be mailed or e-mailed, depending on arrival date. Please remember that charges must be paid before moving in. Make checks payable to USM and mail to Dept. of Residential Life, 100 Upton Hall, Gorham, ME 04038. Only full summer accommodations may eligible for a three payment plan through Student Billing.
