Every summer, the Department of Residential Education and Housing offers eligible students the opportunity to live on campus. Housing for the summer will be located in Phelps and Hausdoerffer Halls.
Summer Housing is available ONLY for undergraduate TCNJ students enrolled in summer classes, TCNJ students working full-time for a college department, or TCNJ students participating in a summer program approved by Residential Education and Housing.
Applications for each of the three summer sessions will be available on My Housing on Friday, April 6, 2012.

2012 Summer Housing Important Dates
Electric Shutdown
Each May, the college’s Facilities office performs an annual high voltage shutdown. This requires shutting down the main transformers on campus that will take down power to the entire campus. This will affect both apartment buildings on Saturday, May 12 from 6 AM-6 PM and will mean no power, air conditioning, or hot water being available. This annual maintenance is required to ensure that the campus electric grid is safe and reliable. We are providing this information ahead of time so students can plan to make alternative arrangements for this day should they choose.
Cost of Summer Housing 2012
You will be billed for the entire session you applied for after you have selected a room during Online Room Selection. If you vacate your assignment prior to the end of the session and properly check out with the hall office, you will receive a refund for the weeks of summer housing in that session that you did not use. Please check with Student Accounts regarding due dates of your summer bills.
Students will be charged the full weekly rate for summer housing for each week, or portion thereof, that they are in residence.
$182.16/week
Maymester (3 weeks) Total cost = $546.48
Session A (5 weeks) Total cost = $910.80
Session B ( 5 weeks) Total cost = $910.80*
*Please note that while Session B is 5 weeks long, there are some classes that may be for 6 weeks and extend until August 9. For students who are taking a class until August 9, you will be charged an additional $182.16 after we reconcile those who have checked out for Session B. If you know for sure you will be here until August 9 and would like to be charged the full 6-week price for summer housing ahead of time, please contact us so we can fulfill the request.
