Housing Between Semesters

Students who do not have alternative housing options between academic terms can apply for housing extensions or placements during short and long-term breaks.

PLU offers housing for enrolled students for both summer and winter break. These are charged at a daily rate and students may choose to stay on campus for the entirety or only a portion of these breaks. Students must apply for all break housing options via the corresponding applications for the appropriate break housing they are seeking.All break housing is granted on an approval basis and will be determined through the application process.

PLU offers the following break housing options:

  • Extended Stay is an opportunity for students to request a one day extension after either the Fall or Spring semesters’ initial closing.  Extended Stay and Winter Break Housing is an opportunity for students to request an extension after either the Fall or Spring semesters’ initial closing.
  • Summer Housing between June and early August. Summer housing is overseen by Hospitality Services.
  • Early Arrival Housing occurs between mid-August through the day before Fall Opening
  • Winter Break Housing occurs between the end Fall semester through the day before J-term Opening.
