Summer housing information
Augustana College's summer program was developed to provide safe, comfortable housing for Augustana students and interns studying and working in the Quad Cities.
Our apartment-style residences, designed for older students, offer a comfortable housing experience for interns living away from home for the summer.
For more information, contact Residential Life.

Each suite comes with a full-service kitchen with a dining room set, a bathroom and an unfurnished living room with a cable TV hookup.

The extra-long mattresses are 36" x 80". You can find extra-long bedding at most major department stores.
Housing for Augustana students
Augustana students will be housed in single rooms in apartment-style housing with up to 3 suitemates.
Augustana students will be able to select roommate groups and choose summer housing the week of May 15.
Those living on campus in the spring will be allowed to move directly to their summer assignment once the apartment is clean. Those not currently on campus can move in on June 3.
Those living on campus in the fall will be allowed to move directly to their fall assignment in August. Those who are not living on campus in the fall should plan to move out no later than Aug. 5.

Community living policies
We expect you to be considerate of you roommates and neighbors. Quiet hours are observed each weekday after 10 p.m. and on weekends after midnight.
Residents ask for the approval of roommates before inviting an overnight guest. Guest stays are limited to 48 consecutive hours.
Fire and safety regulations prohibit the use of some types of appliances. As a general guideline, appliances rated over 6 amps (700 watts), with the exception of computers, are not permitted. Small toasters and toaster ovens, and cookware with exposed heating elements are restricted to use in the kitchen.
You will be asked to complete a room inventory when you check in. You will be held responsible for any damages you cause and your employer may be notified of any unjustifiable damages. Residents of each suite will be held mutually accountable for all unassignable damages that occur. These charges will be divided among suite residents.
Cleaning
You are expected to keep the apartment clean throughout your stay, and are responsible for purchasing your own cleaning supplies.
Work orders
Work orders can be submitted online. Please include detailed information about the request and a contact phone number. Work orders can be submitted for a variety of issues including appliances and lighting, as well as any problems that may occur with insects or other pests.
