Wittenberg offers Summer housing for students taking classes, working on campus, or with other academic obligations (completing research or an internship) on campus or in the surrounding community. For Summer 2023, housing will be available in Sprecher, Keller, and New Hall. If you are currently living in a house or apartment (Burbs) and renewed the same space for Fall, it may be possible for you to stay in your current home over Summer. If you are moving to a new assignment in the fall you will need to move to summer housing.
How to request a room
Complete a Summer 2023 Housing Agreement (COMING SOON) in your housing portal. It can be found under Forms & Applications. All requests are subject to review and housing is not guaranteed. First priority will be given to students who complete their summer housing request by April 20, 2023. All requests are subject to review and housing is not guaranteed.
Summer housing location and availability will depend upon facility and University needs. Summer housing placements will take into account spring/fall assignments as well as credit hours. There is no subletting of properties permitted for any reason; University houses and apartments will not be available to individuals not assigned to the property in the preceding spring semester or subsequent fall semester. There is no storage of personal belongings over the summer. Not all properties will be available for summer housing. Move schedules will be determined by Residence Life based on facility and departmental needs. Summer housing carries separate fees, meal plan requirements, and agreement signing.

Students who are renewing their current property for the 2023-2024 academic year are able to request summer housing, but requests approved are only for the assigned bedroom of the student requesting summer housing. Students are required to complete a Summer Housing Request, sign a Summer Housing Agreement, and pay the summer housing rates to keep items in the home. Without a Summer Housing Agreement, any items found will be considered abandoned and will be disposed of with a fine charge to the student(s) for removal and/or disposal. Any storage of belongings that appears to be beyond that of the approved summer resident will be charged as additional summer housing.
