Summer Housing
Summer housing for 2024 runs from May 12–September 1.
Registration
The Summer Housing Request Form opens on Friday, April 12, 2024 at 10 a.m. via Residence Life Self Service. The priority deadline for summer housing requests is Sunday, April 28, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
The Summer Housing Request Form will be unavailable from April 29-May 30. Students will not be able to register for summer housing during this time. On May 31, the Summer Housing Request Form will reopen until July 26, 2024 for new and updated requests.
Students are encouraged to register only for summer housing blocks they are certain will be needed. Cancellations will not be permitted after May 5 (see Cancellations/Refunds). Students may request through July 26 to have their summer housing extended, if available. Students who wish to extend their time in summer housing must contact Residence Life at reslife@smith.edu at least 5 business days prior to the start of the next block.
Summer housing is limited and offered on a first come, first served basis.
Eligibility
Currently enrolled undergraduate students are eligible for summer housing. Entering students, graduating seniors and non-Smith students are not eligible for summer housing. Students who are withdrawn from the college are also not eligible for summer housing.

Arrivals & Departures
Students Without 2024–25 Academic Year Assignments
On-campus housing will not be available after August 18 for students who will not be living on-campus for the fall semester. Students who plan to study abroad/away, take a leave or live off-campus for the fall semester, will not be permitted to reside in summer housing after August 18 at Noon as all students will be expected to transition to their academic year assignments on this date. Alternative off-campus housing will be required for students without academic year assignments. Please plan accordingly.
Meal Plans
Extended Housing
We are allowing students approved for extended housing to remain in their academic year rooms until after Commencement. Students not approved for extended housing must sign up for summer housing for those two weeks.
Summer Storage
If you are a student living on campus during the summer, you may store no more than three items in John M. Greene storage. If you are participating in extended housing or Pre-College programs and are not paying to live on campus during the summer, you may store no more than two items in JMG storage. This is in addition to the items (no more than five) that may be stored in your house trunk room.
This is short-term storage, and all items stored must be retrieved by the end of the first week of fall classes. Each item should be visibly and clearly labeled with your full name, class year, date stored and date you are returning to campus. The storage facility is in the basement of John M. Greene Hall. You may check-in at the back steps of JMG during posted times to store your items. Additional hours are posted on the web site as they become available. If you have additional questions about JMG storage, you may contact Hannah Durrant at hdurrant@smith.edu.
NOTE: Smith College is not liable for missing or damaged items that are stored in trunk rooms. In addition, Smith College is not liable for use of off-campus storage options nor does the college endorse particular vendors.
Housing for Summer Precollege Programs during your term of employment is handled through the Office of Summer Programs. Contact Program Coordinator Katie Edington, at kedington@smith.edu, with any questions.
