Summer housing applications for 2008 are now available!

To qualify for on-campus accommodations during the summer, you must be registered at U.S.M. for Summer 2008 or pre-registered for Fall 2008 classes. If you owe a past due balance for Spring 2008 charges, you will not be allowed to live in summer housing. Housing charges for Summer 2008 are expected to be paid in full prior to moving in to the residence halls for summer. A payment plan option for housing and tuition may be available to USM students wishing to live on campus for the full summer. Please contact the Student Billing office at 780-5200 to discuss a payment plan.

On-campus accommodations are available beginning Sunday, May 11, 2008 with a move out date of Friday, August 15, 2008. You will need to make arrangments for other accommodations between Friday, August 15 and the official move in date in September. If you are going to be a continuing student, we will allow you to move your possessions ONLY into your fall room at the end of the summer housing period. Please contact our office for details during your summer stay. Nightly, weekly, and full summer accommodations are available in Robie Hall on the Gorham campus and in Portland Hall at 645 Congress St. in Portland. Room/suite types (e.g. singles) may be limited and are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If you choose a room or suite that is not fully occupied and you do not specify a roommate, one or more may be assigned to you.

Furnishings include a bed, desk, desk chair, closet(s), drawer space and MicroFridge unit (combination microwave, refrigerator and freezer). Please leave the MicroFridge clean upon check out, or a $25.00 cleaning fee may be assessed. Linen may be rented on a nightly or weekly basis, or you may provide your own. Each room has a main light, but you may want to bring a study light for task lighting. A common kitchen is available in both Robie Hall and Portland Hall. Major kitchen appliances are also provided in Portland Hall suites.

Bathrooms in Gorham are community style and separate for men and women. All Portland Hall rooms/suites have in-unit bathrooms. Please, no pets in the residence halls besides fish in aquariums, seeing eye dogs or simian aids. Health and fire regulations prohibit cooking in residence hall rooms (except Portland Hall suites).

Limited meal plans may be available during the summer months; please call Dining Services at 780-5420 to inquire. Numerous restaurants are within a short walking distance in Gorham and Portland. For grocery items, Gorham has a Hannaford grocery store that is about a 10 minute walk away. There is a Hannaford on Forest Ave. in Portland, about a 15 minute walk away, and a Whole Foods near the Portland campus.

After we receive your summer housing application, we will verify your account and registration status. A confirmation letter will be sent to you with your room assignment, check-in information and the balance due. Please remember that charges must be paid before moving in. Only full summer accommodations may eligible for a three payment plan through Student Billing.
