Summer and Winter Break Housing


 

Limited summer and winter break housing is available. Residents are usually housed in one residence hall and move into that hall for the break period. Residents must apply and be approved for summer and winter housing. Residents in Employee, Family and Graduate Housing (EFG) stay in their spaces as long as their agreement is in place and don't need to apply for additional housing. Residents in the Cutler Apartments who are residents for both the fall and spring semesters can stay in their apartments over winter break at no additional cost.

UAF students looking to study, work or play over summer break have the option to live on campus.

Summer housing will take place in Lathrop. Singles and super-singles will not be available. Single housing accommodations must be received by April 1rst.

Residents have the option to stay on campus over the winter break. Visit your MyHousing Portal to apply for winter break housing.

Depending on resident demand, not all halls may be open for winter break. A temporary space will be provided in another hall if your fall or spring hall isn't open for winter break. Winter break assignments will be released in early December.

Fall Cutler Apartment residents who are continuing to live in the apartments in the spring term, aren't charged for winter break.
