Summer Start

Summer Start provides a select group of first-year students with an early opportunity to complete two academic courses before their first Fall semester, further develop their learning and study skills and connect with the Clemson community.

First-year applicants to Clemson are automatically considered for the program during the application review process, and a select group receives offers to participate.

When will I select my housing assignment?

Where can I view my housing assignment?

Once you have selected your housing assignment, you may view your assignment at anytime on the Housing Portal.

May I request another incoming first-year student as a roommate?

Yes. You will have the option to request up to three roommates of your choice. You will create and confirm your roommate group in step one of the sign-up process.

If I’m unhappy with my selected room or roommate, can I get it changed before school opens? How?

It is our goal to make everyone happy with their room and roommate assignment. Even after assignments are made, we will continue to work to accommodate your preferences. If you want us to change something about your assignment, please complete a Housing Change Request  While we can't guarantee the change you want, we promise we will try our best to honor your request.
