Summer Student Housing FAQ
What type of housing is available during summer session?
- Summer Session housing: Keohane 4A, 4B, 4D, 4E. Students are assigned on a first come, first served basis, based on the application deadline.
In what order do you make assignments?
- Current residents, who apply on time and request to continue occupancy in designated summer housing, are assigned first with any preferred roommate.
- Students with an assignment for the fall semester are assigned next with any preferred roommate.
- Student blocks, whose members have all applied on time, are put in order for assignment according to the date of the last block member's application. Blocks are assigned at the same time as individual students and preferred roommate pairs.
- Individual students and roommate pairs are put in order for assignment according to the date of application and are assigned at the same time as student blocks.
- Individual students without a preferred roommate will be assigned to a vacant space in rooms where at all possible.
What is a block for summer housing?
A block is a group of students, up to 6, male or female. Only blocks where all participants have applied on time will be assigned consecutively. You will need to appoint a block leader and complete the preferred roommate section on the application.
Can I live in gender neutral housing for the summer?
Yes, please contact our office for options.
Why didn't I get the type of room I wanted?
The type of space you requested was not available due to scheduled maintenance, renovation, or prior assignment.
Why didn't I get my preferred roommate?
We honor all mutual roommate requests but there does come a point when we do not have any empty apartments to place roommate pairs and we must split pairs to make assignments.
How can I switch roommates with someone else?
Prior to confirmation of your application, you can make changes to your roommate pairing and block via the application. We do allow roommate swaps after move in. If two students wish to room together, and all of the involved students agree, a roommate swap is possible. The two students moving will need to contact the Housing Assignments Office (housing@duke.edu) requesting the change. Once the room change is approved, students will be contacted with the details to complete the room change.
Can I have a double room to myself?
No. We do not have enough double rooms to house students individually.
Can I be assigned to my fall semester room?
You can be assigned to your fall semester assignment if:
- You occupy the space summer sessions I and II, OR
- You occupy the space summer session II, and into the fall semester, and
- The spring semester occupant vacates the space.
- There is an additional charge for the time between the end of Summer Session Term II and the beginning of the fall semester.
- If your space is closed for the summer due to maintenance or renovation, you cannot be assigned to your fall assignment.
- If your fall assignment changes during the summer, you will be expected to vacate your summer assignment at the end of the summer session II. If your new assignment is available, we will try to move you, but there is no guarantee.
Can I store a friend's belongings in my room over the summer?
No, residence hall rooms do not allow the space for proper storage and increases fire safety risk.
Where am I supposed to stay when Keohane closes after summer session II?
Holdover housing is available for students who have fall assignments. We do not allow holdover housing for students moving off campus for the fall semester. Please look for more information about holdover housing on our website.

Vacation or travel plans are not considered a valid need for early move-in.
