Summer Housing

All 2020 summer housing for current New School students is 12 weeks, from May 18* to August 8, 2020.

• Shared room (double/triple) in a suite in the 20th Street residence: $4,200
• Single room in a suite in the 20th Street residence: $4,800
• Shared room (double) in a suite in Kerrey Hall: $4,800
• Single room in a suite in Kerrey Hall: $6,000

Note: Housing in Loeb Hall and Stuyvesant Park will not be available to current students in summer 2020.

Full payment is required when you submit the application. Your student account cannot be billed for summer housing costs. The priority deadline for current student applications is April 30, 2020. Space is limited.

*If you are living in student housing during the spring 2020 term, you must be prepared to move into your summer housing between May 15 and May 19; the residence hall director or area coordinator will notify you of your move-in date. Please do not make plans to leave the city until you have moved into your new space.

All summer students will be housed at 20th Street or Kerrey Hall. The space you occupied during the 2019–2020 academic year may not be available for the summer and cannot be guaranteed if requested. We will make every effort to move you to your fall 2020 assignment if it is available. We encourage students who wish to live in the same room for summer 2020 and fall 2020 to select a room on the 15th floor of Kerrey Hall during Housing Selection if possible. Current New School students will be assigned the 15th floor of Kerrey Hall in summer 2020. 

Spring 2020 residents who receive summer 2020 housing should be prepared to move into their summer rooms between May 15 and May 18. You will be notified directly by the Residential Education staff by May 10, 2020, of your assigned move-in date. Failure to move by the assigned date may result in the loss of summer housing.

You are required to be on campus between May 15 and May 19 to move into the room assigned to you for the summer when notified.

New School summer students who are not living in student housing in the spring semester can check in to their assigned residence hall on Sunday, May 17, 2020, between 12:00 noon and 4:00 p.m.

There are no refunds for late arrivals.

Summer students must check out of their summer residence on Saturday, August 8, 2020, by 12:00 noon unless they are approved for interim housing.

In order to be considered officially checked out, residents of student housing must have removed all personal possessions; removed any garbage and debris; returned the room, suite, and mailbox keys (where applicable); and completed the check-out paperwork. If any of the steps are not completed, residents may incur additional fees, charged directly to their student accounts.

There are no refunds for early departures. 

Summer residents of student housing who have a fall 2020 room assignment can remain in their summer residence after the end of summer session until the fall semester move-in period. Applications will be sent to eligible students in June. A fee will be charged directly to the student accounts of those who apply for interim housing.

Students in interim housing who are assigned to rooms other than those they occupied during the academic year are required to move within 24 hours of notice that their fall room assignment is ready. Residential Education staff will give notice between July 31 and August 28, 2020.

Students in interim housing awaiting their academic-year room assignment are required to remain in residence until they have moved into the rooms assigned for the fall. Please plan accordingly. If you leave your interim room unattended, you will be responsible for any costs related to the removal and storage of your possessions.

Students who subsequently cancel their fall 2020 housing will no longer be eligible for interim housing. Any student who cancels his or her fall 2020 housing during the interim housing period will be asked to leave within 24 hours after the Office of Student Housing receives the cancellation and will be charged a per diem rate of $50 a day for every day in residence after August 8, 2020.

Students whose summer classes end after August 8, 2020, and who do not plan to remain for the entire interim housing period can submit a written request for an extension of their summer housing contract to Housing and Residential Education. The request must be received no later than July 13, 2020. If an extension is approved, a per diem rate ($50 a day) will be charged directly to the student's fall 2020 account. The university reserves the right to change a resident's room for an extended period of residency. Approval of extensions of summer housing for students who do not have a room assignment for fall 2020 is not guaranteed. 

All cancellations of summer housing contracts must be made in writing to summerhousing@newschool.edu. The refund schedule is as follows:

• Cancellation at least four weeks before the check-in date: 100 percent refund
• Cancellation three to four weeks before check-in: 50 percent refund
• Cancellation two weeks or less before check-in: no refund

The $250 housing application fee is nonrefundable.

Residents of summer housing who decide to vacate before the expiration of their contract must also cancel their contract in writing. There are no refunds for early departures. The residence hall must be vacated no later than 72 hours from the date of notification of approval of the cancellation request. Failure to vacate in a timely manner will result in additional penalties.

The 2020 Summer Internship Housing Application is now open. Apply here.

• Roommate and suite mate requests will be honored only if each potential resident has completed his or her application and submitted full payment.

All cancellations of housing contracts must be submitted through the Summer Housing Cancellation Form. The date the form is submitted will be the official cancellation date.

Students will be removed from the residence hall (with no refund) for any of the following offenses:
