Consider on-campus housing for your summer classes!

We offer convenient and affordable housing and dining options in the following residence halls:

All summer buildings are co-ed, and a limited number of single rooms will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis in Newman Hall.

I live in a commencement housing building (Ambler Johnston and O’Shaughnessy). Can I leave my belongings in my room if I sign up for the first summer session?

  • Students in Commencement Housing Buildings (East or West Ambler Johnston or O’Shaughnessy) must submit a Late Checkout Request in StarRez by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 1, 2024 in order to participate in the spring to summer transition and leave their belongings in their room during the period between spring closing and summer move-in.
  • Current residents who are only attending the second summer session do need to fully move out of the residence halls by the closing date in May.

I live in a non-commencement housing building. Can I leave my belongings in my room if I sign up for the first summer session?

  • Current residents in non-Commencement Housing Buildings who pre-register for Summer Session I housing by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2024 may be able to participate in the spring to summer transition, leaving their belongings in their room during the period between spring closing and summer move-in.
  • Peddrew-Yates and Pritchard Hall residents will not be eligible to leave items between the spring and summer sessions due to scheduled facilities work. Residents of these buildings must fully move out at the close of the spring semester.
  • Current residents who are only attending the second summer session do need to fully move out of the residence halls by the closing date in May.

How do I sign up for summer housing?

  • To submit a summer housing contract:
    • Log into the StarRez Portal with your VT Username/password and two-factor authentication.
    • Select "Housing Contracts" from the top menu bar.
    • Select Summer 2024 from the term selector page, and complete the contract as instructed.
    • Summer dining plans may be selected through the link in the summer housing contract, or by going directly to Dining Plans in the StarRez Portal.
  • If you are not a Virginia Tech student (visiting scholars, etc.) please contact our office at housing@vt.edu.

What are the deadlines?

  • Contracts must be completed by 5 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the first day of the summer session. For students attending Summer I or both Summer I and Summer II, contracts are due by 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 16, 2024. For students attending Summer Start or Summer II only, contracts are due by 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 27, 2024.

What are the rates?

What will the spring to summer transition look like?

  • Students will pack up their belongings and check-out of their spring room before they leave for the spring-to-summer break.
  • Students may return for Summer I check-in on the Sunday before the first summer session begins. Students will have access to move their personal belongings from their spring assignment to summer assignment until 5:00 p.m. on the Tuesday following.
  • You must indicate if you are planning on leaving items in your room for transfer and accept the release of liability statement in your housing contract submission.

What do I do if I am in a building that has been designated for summer housing?

  • If you are a current resident of CID, Newman, or Donaldson-Brown, you may be able to stay in your current room depending on gender designations. While we will attempt to minimize changes, some students may need to move to a new space for the summer. You may make this move when you return for check-in on Sunday. Donaldson-Brown will remain open between spring and summer.

What dining plans are available for me to choose from? Can off-campus students purchase a dining plan?

  • All on-campus students are required to purchase either the Summer Flex or 19 meals-per-week dining plan.
  • Off-campus students may select a Summer Flex, 19 meals-per-week, or 7 meals-per-week dining plan. Due to the abbreviated term, the larger flex plans are not available.
  • If you are not a Virginia Tech student normally (visiting scholars, etc), please email conferences@vt.edu or visit Hokie Passport Services at 100 Student Services Building to submit a summer dining plan request.
