All buildings have thermostats for temperature control and Ethernet (wireless and RJ-45 jacks). Each room is furnished with a bed frame and extra-long twin mattress, dresser, desk and desk chair. Handicap accessible rooms are available for graduate student use. Any specific needs should be noted on the Graduate Housing Profile Form.
TO REQUEST GRADUATE HOUSING
Students requesting to reside on campus should complete the Graduate Housing Profile and submit it directly to the Office of Residence Life & Housing via mail (PO Box 5000, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 12504-5000) or fax (845-758-7827). Requests should be made no later than June 15, 2018. Students will be placed based upon preference, information from the Graduate Housing Profile and availability of space. Every effort will be made to match your preference, but no guarantees can be made.
SEE LINKGraduate Housing ProfileCONFIRMATION OF GRADUATE HOUSING
Students who have submitted a Graduate Housing Profile form by June 15th will be notified of housing placement in mid July. Graduate Students who request, but do not receive housing, will be placed on a wait list and will be notified immediately if any spaces become available.
Payment
There is no special housing deposit required. The Office of Student Accounts will include the housing fee on the student’s tuition bill.
Once a student accepts a room on-campus for the fall, they have made a commitment to live on-campus for the entire academic school year. Thus, if a student elects to live off-campus in the spring, he/she will still be responsible for the spring housing fees. Exceptions are made for students away on internships or other activities that are part of the structure of their program.
Check-In for Housing
Students MUST pick up keys on campus on Saturday, August 31, 2019, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Students must be financially clear with the Office of Student Accounts before keys can be issued. Any student who may have a conflict with the check-in time, must notify the Office of Residence Life & Housing prior to check-in.
Any student needing to move in prior to August 31, due to flight itinerary or other extenuating circumstance, should contact the Office of Residence Life & Housing to make arrangements. If this arrangement is granted there is an additional fee ($25 per day). Programs with an academic calendar beginning prior to this date may arrive as arranged by the department. However, students approved to move onto campus early may have to move to a temporary location dependent on summer occupancy
May Closing
Students are required to move out of housing the day following commencement (unless summer housing is paid for during the summer months—see the second paragraph of Intersession Housing below).
Intersession Housing
Students wishing to keep their room over the Bard intersession between fall and spring semesters have the option to do so at no additional cost, although housing is formally closed to ALL students during the Winter Break.(December 22 and January 1).
For informational purposes, at the end of the academic year graduate students are required to move out of housing by 3 p.m.,on the day following commencement.
Students enrolled in a graduate program for a second year (e.g. MAT) will be given the option to pay for summer housing. Students should notify the Office of Residence Life & Housing and Student Accounts of this decision, no later than May 1, 2019. Please note, due to summer housing requirements, summer housing placement may be in a different room than your academic year placement.
Special Circumstance Housing
Any student wishing to be considered for Special Circumstance Housing (due to medical, physical, or psychological conditions), should contact the Office of Residence Life & Housing. Even if granted Special Circumstance Housing in the past, students are still required to discuss their housing needs with the office for the upcoming school year.
