Summer Sublet Connection

We recognize that there is a larger interest in Summer Housing than can be met on campus. To support students locate other housing options for the summer, Residence Life runs the Summer Sublet Connection beginning after Spring Break. Please check your Puget Sound email for more information.

Gap Housing

Some students would like to stay on campus in May after the Residence closure date (May 9 for undergraduate students, May 11 for graduating students). This is referred to as Gap Housing and will be available from May 9 - June 1, 2026.   Residence Life can accommodate you during this time period for a fee; $300 for the time period May 9 - June 1 or $150 for the first week only (May 9 - May 15).  In most cases, if you sign up for the first week only of Gap Housing, you can remain in your Spring housing location - exceptions are in Summer Housing locations. After May 15, Gap Housing will be in Todd/Phibbs Hall and will have two people assigned to each room. Please feel free to apply for Gap Housing if you are interested in this option. APPLICATION OPENS ON MARCH 31ST AT 8:30AM AND CLOSES ON APRIL 29TH AT 4:00PM
