Housing Requirements

Housing is guaranteed for all full-time Pre-College Summer Art Experience students. The student and professional staff are trained to aid and support you.

Important Information

A few things you will need to know prior to applying to Campus Housing:

• The program is an intensive scholarship art program, and is not a “Summer Camp.”
• Students must be at least 16 years old to be eligible for housing during the Pre-College Summer Program.
• Campus Housing students must maintain the behavioral and attendance requirements of the program. Residents must be currently enrolled in three (3) Pre-College classes for instruction in an academic program at Academy of Art University. Failure to maintain student status will result in revocation of the housing License Agreement.
• Program participants are assigned to buildings specifically and exclusively used for the Pre-College Summer Program, and are supervised by on-site Department of Housing & Residence Life Staff. In addition to Department of Housing & Residence Life Staff in the building, each building has secured access entrances, and we also provide 24-hour roving security patrol. Large residence halls have security hosts posted in the lobby
• Pre-College Summer Program residents must also abide by additional rules and regulations. The curfew for all students residing in Campus Housing for the Pre-College Summer Program is 10:00 PM every night (including July 4th). All students are required and expected to have returned to their designated residence hall by 10:00 PM each night and are required to check-in with the Residence Life staff by physically surrendering their Academy ID. Students who fail to adhere to the curfew policy will be immediately removed from Housing.
• Pre-College Summer Residents will be required to have their own cell phone in order to stay in Campus Housing. Students will be required to provide a cell phone number to the Residence Life staff prior to move-in and must be available via this number to the Residence Life staff at all times.

Overnight Absence Request Policy

All Pre-College Summer Residents are expected to spend all nights in Campus Housing for the duration of the program. Only requests for overnight absences submitted in writing (utilizing the Overnight Absence Request Form) in advance of the start date of the Pre-College Summer Program will be approved unless there are extenuating circumstances as determined by the Residence Life staff. For these pre-approved overnight absences, students must be physically signed out for the entire night by either their parent and/or guardian. A student may not return to their residence hall prior to 8:00 AM of the day after they have been pre-approved for an overnight absence. Again, failure to adhere to this policy will result in removal from Campus Housing.
