Housing for Augustana students
Summer housing in 2025 will be in Arbaugh.
Augustana students will receive their summer housing room assignment the week of May 12.
Those living on campus in the spring will be allowed to move directly to their summer assignment once the room is clean. Those not currently on campus can move in on May 31.
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. 9.

Community living policies
We expect residents to be considerate of your roommates and neighbors. Quiet hours are observed each weekday after 10 p.m. and on weekends after midnight.
Residents must ask for the approval of roommates before inviting an overnight guest. Guest stays are limited to 48 consecutive hours.
Smoking, vaping and tobacco use are strictly prohibited inside the building.
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 room will be held mutually accountable for all unassignable damages that occur. These charges will be divided among residents.
Cleaning
You are expected to keep the room clean throughout your stay, and to clean up after yourself when you use the communal kitchens and other shared areas of the building.
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. As much as we hope everything will remain working properly, repairs occasionally arise.
