Summer and Study Abroad

1. MECOP/CECOP: Can students live in UP housing during Multiple Engineering Co-op Program (MECOP) and Civil Engineering Co-op Program (CECOP) internships?
Yes, since they are still considered UP students while participating in these MECOP or CECOP internships. That said, since students do not receive financial aid for the terms they are participating in the internships, they are not eligible to use financial aid to pay for their rent. Room and board charges will be placed on their student account for payment as usual.  

2. How does pricing for summer rooms work?
Summer housing is charged by the week, and you can find the current year’s rates here.

3. My department gave me a summer housing scholarship, what does that cover?
Summer housing scholarships ONLY cover the cost of a double room for the exact weeks that you are in the program. If you wish to extend your stay, or upgrade to a single room (not always available) then you must pay the difference.

4. Can I stay in my current room for summer housing?
No, all summer housing is done in Lund Family Hall. All other residence halls are closed during the summer for repairs or for use by summer camps. Even if you currently live in Lund Family Hall, we will likely need to change your room because rooms are used by multiple students over the summer.

5. Is there food service during the summer?
Food service is available during the week at the Pilot House. On weekends the Pilot House may be closed. There are no meal plans and all food purchases are made via credit or debit cards.

6. I am NOT a UP student and am doing a summer internship in Portland. Does UP provide housing for people like me?
Starting in 2023, UP has a new program to provide housing for internships outside of UP. Please see https://www.up.edu/conferences/intern-housing/index.html for more information.
