On-campus summer housing is offered to 2011-2012 continuing students who are employed at least 10 hours per week by Lawrence University, are doing paid summer research, or have an approved summer internship coordinated through the Career Center. Summer housing is not open to graduating seniors. Failure to maintain 10 hours per week may result in eviction from housing. Housing will be assigned through a seniority-based lottery for rooms in Colman Hall. The lottery number that you will be given for fall 2011 housing selection will be used during the summer housing selection.

Please plan to attend the following information session regarding summer employment/housing:

Tuesday, April 5th at 4:30pm in the Cinema.
