Summer Program students are housed by age and gender in up to eight air-conditioned residence halls.  All high school students are required to live on campus, unless they live with parents or legal guardians within a 25 mile commuting distance of the School.  Middle and high school students are housed in residence halls in one area of the campus, while high school graduates and college students live in another area of campus. Men and women are housed separately in all cases. All students living on campus are required to be on the meal plan. There are no exceptions. If you have questions or special requests regarding room and board, contact the Office of Residence Life at .



Students will be housed with other students from different art disciplines.  Due to the renovation of 4 residence halls and the specific hall used for the gender, students will either live in a double or a triple residence hall room.  Only male students will have the option of living in a single residence hall room.  Students will share communal bathrooms but each room has its own sink.  Each floor is managed by live-in resident counselors; many of whom are UNCSA college students.  The resident counselors, closely supervised and supported by a professional staff, are trained to address student concerns and to nurture a sense of community on the hall.



Summer Program housing is limited.  Students must pay in full by the date on their tuition statement and have returned their housing agreement to the Residence Life Office to be guaranteed housing.  All students who request housing and live within a 25 mile radius of the school will be placed on a housing waitlist and will be notified when housing is available for them.
