RESIDENCE HALL ACCOMMODATIONS

The NYU residence halls are located throughout lower Manhattan, in neighborhoods such as Greenwich Village, Union Square, the Financial District and Gramercy Park. In addition, NYU Housing recently leased 67 Livingston Street, in the historic Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. This is the University's first residence hall outside of Manhattan.

All residence halls are conveniently located near public transportation offering easy access to all that New York City offers.

All bedrooms in NYU residence halls are contained within multi-bedroom suites sharing baths and, in apartment style halls, kitchens.

All residence halls are coed; individual bedrooms and suites are single sex. Most bedrooms are shared with one or two roommates, with between four and eight occupants per suite. There are limited singles bedrooms available.

Effective September 2006, all NYU residence halls became smoke-free and do not permit smoking in any area, including private living areas. For more information, please click here.

Residents are responsible for cleaning their bedrooms and all shared areas within their suite.

If any participants of a group program require a special accommodation based on a medical condition or disability, please discuss the nature of the special accommodation requested with NYU Summer Housing as soon as possible.

Two types of residence halls are available:

Traditional Halls– suites/bedrooms in traditional halls do not have kitchen and all residents are required to purchase a meal plan during their summer residency. Some traditional halls are air-conditioned. All traditional halls are located near the main NYU campus.

RESERVATION & PAYMENT INFORMATION
Reservations

NYU sponsored groups or programs are given priority in the reservation process.

Reservation requests can be made for between 10 and 60 participants.

To request a group reservation, complete the Long Term Group Reservation Request online form by December 7, 2007.

If a reservation is offered, the group contact will receive an agreement indicating the group's account code, residence hall placement, and the number of reservations being offered. This agreement must be signed and returned in order to indicate acceptance of the terms and conditions. The group coordinator will also receive summer housing applications designed exclusively for distribution to the group's participants.

Group coordination, including distribution and collection of applications, materials and initial payments, is the responsibility of the sponsoring department or organization.

The office of Summer Housing must receive all completed participants applications and payments no less than 21 days prior to the start date of group's reservation.

Please note that we cannot guarantee that all participants from a group or company will be housed together. Some participants may be housed together. Some participants may be housed with residents not affiliated with the group or company.

Please note that individual requests for early arrivals and extended stays that differ from the program's reservation dates are contingent upon space availability.


Payments

Groups may opt for one of two payment plans. Groups may choose to be billed directly for their group's housing charges or individual participants can pay NYU Housing directly.

The sponsoring organization is responsible for any outstanding participant charges upon completion of the license period.


Group Payment

If the sponsoring organization is paying for its participants, a minimum three (3) week payment per application must be included when the completed individual applications are submitted to NYU Summer Housing.

A group account will be established and all participant charges will be the responsibility of the sponsoring organization.

NYU groups must provide a departmental account number authorizing a transfer of funds.

A final invoice will be sent to the sponsoring organization approximately two weeks after the group's departure.


Individual Payment

If individual participants are paying for themselves, a minimum three week payment per application must be included when the completed individual applications are submitted to Summer Housing.

The group organizer is responsible for securing the initial payments with the applications and forwarding them to the Office of Summer Housing.

Any balance due on the participant's account must be paid by the end of the first week of their reservation. Upon arrival, participants will receive a bill for the balance due on the account. Payment must be made to the Office of Summer Housing.

Participants that do not meet payment obligations will have their housing license terminated.

Credit Card Payment

New York University processes all credit card payments made using American Express, Discover, and Master Card through a third-party service, PhoneCharge. PhoneCharge assesses a 2.5% nonrefundable convenience fee on all payments made by credit card.

Visa is not accepted through PhoneCharge and cannot be used to make payment.

Cancellations & date adjustments
Cancellations

Through March 31, 2008, a group may reduce the size of their original reservation without penalty. The total number of spaces reserved as of April 1 will be considered the final number of spaces reserved.

Effective April 1, 2008, any reduction of the number of spaces reserved will result in a charge of $500 per reservation. Reduction of a reservation includes any cancellation of a reservation and any reservation that is not utilized as a result of a participant's failure to check-in.

Please note that this policy is different from the cancellation policy for individuals not in group housing.

Date changes for individual participants
