If you need to make overnight accommodations during Orientation, only off-campus housing is available for the August 27 program.

The rate for a ingle suite is $34 per room, per night including tax; a double suite is $51 per room per night including tax, payable by cash or check when you arrive. You will be able to check into your room at 2pm, or earlier if your room is ready. Your room will have basic amenities such as a phone, linens, and towels.
