Mayterm Housing

Houghton’s residency requirements remain in effect for all students taking on-campus Mayterm classes. All students are required to remain in and pay for the same type of college housing they occupied during the previous full-time semester(s) except:

  • Students who will be commuting from a family member’s home (for Houghton University housing purposes, family is defined as parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles and non-student siblings)
  • Students who were approved to live off-campus during the regular academic year
  • Students enrolled in a course that is taught away from the main campus

As with housing, all Mayterm students are required to be on the same meal plan level that they were during the spring semester (or fall if a student was abroad). There are no block plans during Mayterm and plans will be converted to their corresponding meals per week plan (ex: 170 Block plan is converted to 14 meals per week).
