SUMMER SEMESTERS

There are three summer terms:

  • Summer 1 (first 5 week session)
  • Summer 2 (second 5 week session)
  • and Full Summer (10 week session)

Undergraduate

To be considered full-time (and thus eligible to receive 100% Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are in classes), you must be taking either:

  • 7 credits for the full summer 10 week session or
  • 4 credits in Summer 1 and/or 2
    • If you take 4 credits in both Summer 1 and 2, please note:
      • the break between them will impact MHA by 5 days
        • If enrolled in Summer 1 & 2, once Summer 1 ends on 6/24, you will not be receive MHA until the Summer 2 begins 6/29, so your July 1 MHA payment will be short for those days  (or appx. about $256)
  • Or you can take 3 credits (Summer 1) 3 credits (Full Summer) and 3 credits (Summer 2)
    • once Summer 1 ends, you will not be full time until the Summer 2 begins, so your July 1 MHA payment will be short for those days  (or appx. about $50)
