In order to be eligible for a summer on-campus room assignment through the Office of Housing Services, individuals must be a current academic year Catholic University student, a Spring 2025 Catholic University graduate, or a visiting college student enrolled in summer courses at Catholic University. For the time period from May 11 through August 3, current Catholic University students do not need to be enrolled in summer classes in order to be eligible for summer housing. This is a great opportunity for Catholic University students to pursue internships and other career opportunities in the D.C. metro area during the summer months.

The Summer Housing Application is available in MyHousing starting March 15.  Housing Services will begin announcing room assignments by April 30.  Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the summer months until July 15. All applications should be received at least 7 days before the requested arrival date.  Once an assignment is confirmed students may utilize MyHousing to see their room assignment, roommates, and housing-related billing charges.

The Summer term begins on Sunday, May 18, 2024, at 5:00 PM EST, and the summer term ends on Sunday, August 3, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST.  On-campus housing is available during the Spring-to-Summer transition period (May 11-18) for Catholic University students who have a Spring 2025 assignment and a summer assignment beginning on May 18. Current residential students who wish to request Summer transition housing may do so by completing the online request form.

On-campus housing is not generally available between August 3 through August 24. Students will be expected to vacate their summer assignment by 12:00 PM EST on August 3. However, students who have a summer assignment ending on August 3 and have a confirmed Fall 2025 room assignment are eligible for Summer-to-Fall transition housing from August 3 through August 24 by completing the online request form for Summer-to-Fall Transition Housing.  

Check-in information will be sent via University email to each student who receives a summer assignment.  

All Catholic University students seeking an on-campus room assignment will reside in a suite-style residence. In Opus Hall each suite contains three single bedrooms; one double bedroom; a shared living area; and a shared bathroom. The building also has wireless internet access. Floors 2 - 7 have a centrally located lounge, dining, and kitchen area. The ground floor has smaller kitchen facilities on each wing with a large main lounge, study, laundry, and vending.
