If you are considering attending summer session at ISU consider all of your housing options. Even if you are currently living off-campus or will be next year, living on-campus for a few weeks during the summer may just be the best option - weekly housing contract available, no cooking and less space to clean!
University Housing Services offers a limited number of spaces on a “first-come, first-served” basis in designated residence halls during summer session. Most rooms are double occupancy. The availability of single rooms is dependent on space demands. A mandatory meal plan is included in the housing contract. Housing application-contracts are mailed in early April upon request.
You may complete this brief form or call University Housing Services at (309) 438-8611 to have your name placed on the mailing list.
Off-Campus Student Services, a unit of the Dean of Students Office, provides Illinois State students with support and services to help enhance their off-campus living experience. Check-list for moving off-campus
