Eligibility for campus housing

Students wishing to reside in St. Olaf housing over the summer should be working for the college, enrolled in summer classes or receiving academic credit at an internship. We are not able to guarantee housing to students not meeting one of the previous criteria.

Facilities are non air-conditioned

Summer housing facilities for St. Olaf students will be in Mohn Hall for Summer 2009. This is a non air-conditioned facility. A non air-conditioned facility is offered because the housing cost to the student is much lower for non air-conditioned housing on campus. Students wanting air-conditioned housing will need to obtain housing off campus. A book of off campus housing options is located at the Residence Life Office (Administration Building Room 127).

Medical requests for air conditioning will be evaluated on an individual basis. In order to submit a medical request you will need to provide updated written documentation in the form of a letter from your doctor detailing your symptoms and ailments regarding your medical situation. The recommendation must be more than a prescription recommending air conditioning. All requests and paperwork must be turned in to the Residence Life Office prior to May 13th. Medical requests made after May 13th will not be considered. Students that are granted medical requests involving air conditioners will be housed together.

Dates of Occupancy

Students wishing to reside in St. Olaf housing between May 26 and August 20, 2009 must submit a Summer Housing Application to the Residence Life Office by May 13, 2009. Space is limited. You may be turned down for housing if you apply after May 13, 2008. After May 13 to apply for summer housing please email reslife@stolaf.edu
