August Interim
At the end of Summer Block B (5pm Friday, August 9, 2024), all students are expected to move out of summer housing. A limited number of students may qualify to apply for August Interim (i.e. to bridge until the official start of Fall housing).
August Interim is intended to provide housing for students who live too far away from campus to go home between the end of the Summer and the start of Fall semester (i.e. permanent home addresses that are 500+ miles from campus). August Interim is not to provide storage space for students' belongings so they may leave campus and students are required to stay on campus for the entire period so they can move when required.
Students in August Interim housing must abide by all College and Residential Life policies and procedures while in the Barnard residence halls. Allegations of policy violation will be subject to the disciplinary process and may result in sanctions up to or including removal from interim and/or academic year summer housing.
Students may not give access to their room and/or suite to others, including roommate(s), suitemate(s), and/or floormate(s) who have not been given permission to move in prior to the official Fall move-in date for new or continuing students. If found to have given access to another student or their belongings, both students will be subject to disciplinary action, which could include the loss of interim and/or academic year housing.

Students should expect to move to a temporary, non-air-conditioned, shared double-occupancy rooms in the Quad in order to facilitate the cleaning of the residence halls for the Fall. A very limited number of students may be able to move directly to their Fall room, but that cannot be confirmed until students will start to move on Thursday, August 8, 2024.

Students will be required to move into their Fall room assignment once the Facilities office has finished cleaning the building.
Because the length of time to clean the buildings varies from year to year, students will need to be prepared to move when instructed by the Res Life office.
