The details on the optional gap stay:

Full summer students, Sunday, May 14 - Friday, August 18, who have a fall 2017 room assignment at USM and are registered for fall classes, may move into their fall room assignment at the end of summer session and stay through the two-week gap period between the end of summer term and the start of fall term at no additional charge.

Other summer students wishing to stay for the two week gap from August 18 - August 28 must move into their summer assignment by July 4, must be continuing in summer housing for the remainder of the summer session, and must have a fall room assignment at USM. An additional $140.00 charge will be applied to the student’s account for the gap period.

Students without a fall room assignment and/or who move in to summer housing after July 4 are ineligible to live on campus for the gap period.

* Cancellation prior to arrival: 100% refund

* Cancellation in writing to usm.reslife@maine.edu after arrival but prior to mid-point of reserved stay: 50% refund

Payment Information:

Assignment confirmation and balance due amount will be mailed or e-mailed at a later date. Any past due balance on a University account must be cleared before assignment is made.
