野狼社区 University Housing and Residence Life looks forward to welcoming our new and returning residents for the Summer 2026 semester!
Unlike the fall and spring semesters, OCU students do not need to be enrolled to reside on campus during this summer. Each student who is not enrolled must be verified to be in good financial standing with the Office of Student Financial Services before being assigned.
Summer Assignments
All students during the summer term are assigned to our Cokesbury Court Apartments. This is due to campus dining services not being open and meal plans not being offered. Assignments will be sent out assignments on a rolling basis as applications are fully reviewed.
Move-In
New Students
New Students arriving on campus for Maymester classes only will be able to check in anytime from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 10, at the Cokesbury Clubhouse Housing Office.
New Student arriving on campus for Summer class only will be able to check in anytime from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, May 15. Requests can be made to move in on Saturday, May 16, or Sunday May 17, by contacting [email protected].
Current Residents
Current students living on campus who do not currently live in Cokesbury will be relocated to Cokesbury as soon as their new room is cleaned and ready. This usually takes around two weeks after spring move-out has ended. Housing and Residence Life will contact the student through their OCU email. Students are required to move from their spring assignment to summer assignment within 72 hours after providing notice that their summer assignment is ready.
Room Assignments
Students new to housing and moving in during the summer term will be assigned to Cokesbury based on availability and preference.
If a student is living in Cokesbury for the Fall Semester, we will try to move you into your Fall assignment to help minimize moving but we cannot guarantee it.
Moving Out
Students not returning for the Fall semester will need to be moved out at the end of the summer term by 5 p.m. July 31. Housing and Residence Life will send out move-out instructions at the end of the summer.
Nursing students enrolled in summer courses that extend through August 21 will be permitted to remain in University Housing until 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22. Students not contracted for fall housing may be required to relocate to a different assignment in July to accommodate fall term arrivals.
Students who are returning in the Fall and need to move into their Fall assignment will be notified by Housing and Residence Life when their room is ready for them to move into. This usually occurs at the end of July or the beginning of August and must move over within 72 hours.
