- Only students with a full Summer Housing contract who also have a new room assignment in the GC/Annexes for the 2013-14 academic year will move from their current room during the summer. These students will remain in their current room until contacted by the Housing Office. The Housing Office will provide the student with a move date according to the information that he/she provides on their Summer Housing application. It is, therefore, important for students to provide accurate information regarding their summer housing plans.
