Summer Housing

Those students who are employed by BVU and/or pursuing academic endeavors during the summer are eligible to reside on-campus.  Housing for eligible students is provided in Swope Hall.  While every attempt is made to assign summer residents to individual rooms, space is limited and room assignments are effected by the number of eligible applicants.  Due to summer conferencing schedules, all students hoping to reside on-campus for a given summer must be able to move to their summer location on the Monday/Tuesday immediately following graduation.  No exceptions to this timeline are possible.  Students unable to move during this time should make arrangements to live elsewhere for the summer.  Cable television is available for summer residents who are interested.  All residence hall and university policies remain in effect during the summer months.  Applications for summer residence are made available in Student Services following spring break each year.  Students are notified via BVUNews when applications are available.

Summer Employment Opportunities
All campus offices remain active during the summer and many offer employment opportunities for students.  Students interested in working for a particular office are encouraged to contact that office directly to inquire about possible openings.  Summer positions are often posted in BVUNews as well.

Summer Conferencing
During the summer, people from around the world visit our campus to use our facilities and residence halls for their meetings and other activities.  Guests range from junior high students to the elderly and come for reasons including training seminars, athletic and music camps, family gatherings and professional development.  Each summer a staff of students is hired as Conference Assistants to serve as hosts to our guests.  Conference Assistant applications are available after spring break.  Students are notified via BVUNews when applications are available.

Other Summer Services
The library and recreational facilities are available during the summer on a limited basis.  Canoes and kayaks are available through Campus Security.  Supplies available at the information desk during the academic year can also be checked out during the summer.
