Summer Housing 2009

Are you thinking of living on campus this summer? Please go to the Summer Housing web site to find a housing application and find out more about potential summer job opportunities. Anyone planning to stay in the summer residence hall (this summer it will be Mohn Hall) needs to apply by May 13, 2009.

Contact reslife@stolaf.edu if you would like to sign up for housing after May 13, 2009.

Arriving to campus this fall

Residence Halls open for students of classes ’10, ’11, and ’12 on Monday, September 7, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.  The first day of class is Wednesday, September 9th.  You may arrive to the residence halls between September 7th – 8th.

In an effort to control the number of students arriving on campus before opening day the only upper-class students allowed on campus before September 7th are those students who are required by an athletic or campus work commitment to return to campus early.  Many students are aware if they are required to return early. 

All students approved to return early will be notified around August 9, 2009 via their St. Olaf email account of the date and time they are allowed to return to campus.  If you do not receive an email you may not come back to campus early. 

Please take time now to make appropriate travel arrangements with your family to arrive on campus on the appropriate date. 

 We look forward to having you back in the fall and will be ready to greet you on Monday, September 7, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.
