The University of Evansville offers summer housing for current UE students who will be taking classes, working, or conducting research in Evansville over the summer.

Jones Hall will be available for summer housing. These units can house students in 4-person units, providing single bedrooms with 2 bathrooms per unit. Each unit also has a full kitchen (cooking supplies are not provided). There is a community laundry room located on the first floor.

2026 Dates and Rates

UE Summer housing will be available from May 9, 2026 – August 23, 2026. The nightly rate per resident in summer housing is $36/night.

Moving into Summer Housing. University of Evansville students who currently live on campus will remain in their spring semester housing for up to two weeks after the residential facilities close for the spring semester. This allows staff to time for cleaning and preparation of the summer facilities. Some students, based on their spring housing assignment may need to move to summer housing earlier. Students who do not live on campus in the spring semester can move in starting May 16, 2026.

Moving out of Summer Housing. Residents in Summer Housing will transition to a temporary or permanent fall assignment approximately during the fourth week of July. The specific date and location will be determined based on cleaning needs and move-in schedules. All move out instructions will be communicated via student email.

Residents must check out with a residence life staff member when leaving their spring and summer residences. This check-out appointment must be made 48 hours in advance. Individuals that do not schedule a check-out appointment may be charged an improper checkout fee of $50.

Policies and Procedures

As a condition of this contract, the resident agrees to be aware of and abide by all rules of conduct as outlined in the Student Handbook. The resident also agrees to maintain a proper standard of behavior and not disrupt the residential community. Violations of the terms of this contract or of any of the rules and regulations outlined in the Student Handbook will be normally handled through the campus judicial system. However, the University reserves the right to treat such violations as a breach of contract.

Students should check with their families to determine the extent of coverage, if any, under existing insurance policies or purchase independent personal property insurance.

Contract Cancellation

Contracts can be cancelled without penalty 2 weeks prior to the summer term for that session to reside locally with parents, legal guardians or immediate family, transferring, withdrawing, or cancellation of that session's classes. Cancellation requests made after these deadlines can result in fines as outlined in the summer housing contract.

Requests not falling in the above categories are typically not granted. Requests to move off campus to live with friends or move into an apartment are not sufficient reasons to cancel a UE housing contract. Entering into any other housing agreement or lease with a private landlord will have no effect upon the conditions of your contract with the University of Evansville.
