Continuing students should arrange housing for Fall 2023 or, if needed, apply for summer housing in the residence halls. Please note only students taking classes on the Oxford campus will be eligible for on-campus summer housing on a space-available basis.
On-campus students: reminder that residences halls close at 7pm, TODAY, May 12. Please review the move-out procedures and be sure to complete the plans for departure form as well. If needed, you can also store your bike during the summer.
Off-campus students: check your lease for move-out procedures. The City of Oxford’s move out page contains information about utilities, recycling, and extra dumpsters during move out week.
