Summer Housing 2013

On-campus housing is available for SU students who are taking a class and/or working at Salisbury University during the Summer Term (first come, first served).  Summer Housing will be in Dogwood Village.

Application available here.


The Office of Housing & Residence Life's mission is to support academic excellence and student retention by creating a quality living environment that provides opportunities for learning and socializing outside of the classroom.

Approximately 2300 spaces are provided for undergraduate men and women.  We are unable to accommodate graduate students; however, they should consult the office of graduate studies as well as our Commuter Connections' Web site. 

Residency Requirement

Salisbury University has a two-year residency requirement for all freshmen beginning with the fall 2013 class. Students beginning in the fall semester are required to live in campus housing for four semesters. Students beginning in the spring semester live on campus for three semesters. Students can request an exemption through the Office of Housing and Residence Life based on the following criteria:

  • Geographic – Students living at home with their parents, legal guardian, or immediate family over the age of 21 in Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, Dorchester, or Sussex (DE) counties
  • Age – Students who at the time of enrollment are at least 21 years of age
  • Status – Students who are married or caring for dependent children, or students who have completed military service.

At the end of the first year of on-campus residence, students can also be considered for an off-campus exemption if they have achieved a 3.5 cumulative GPA and will have completed at least 30 credits of study at SU.

*Petition for Exemption    
Please submit a written letter of appeal to Mr. Clinton Gilbert, Associate Director of Housing and Residence Life.  Appeals may be submitted to: house@salisbury.edu.

Comprehensive Housing Renovation Plan (CHRP)

The primary goal of Salisbury University’s Comprehensive Housing Renovation Plan (CHRP) is to support the academic mission of the university by creating first class living facilities and high quality living/learning environments.  Please visit the Capital Planning Web site for continued updates. 

Cellular Phone Reception

Moving from densely populated areas has proven challenging for some students with respect to cell phone reception.  Cellular towers on the Eastern Shore are not as plentiful as in a metropolitan area.  Our residence halls have a solid brick exterior foundation, sometimes making it difficult to receive quality cellular reception inside the halls.  We have found that the provider receiving the best reception is Verizon Wireless.  Please keep this in mind as you make cellular carrier decisions when preparing to attend SU.
