Wright State University

Our guest housing season for 2013 will run from May 3 through August 2nd, 2013. All guests must complete their checkouts by Friday, 11 a.m. on August 2nd. Before and after this window of time, the units are under housing contract to WSU students and are not available. 2012 is a transition year for Wright State. WSU is changing over from quarters to semesters. The apartment turnover period has been greatly decreased. NO EXTENTIONS OR LATE CHECKOUTS ARE POSSIBLE. Guest housing will be held in the Forest Lane Apartments, College Park or University Park Apartments. Individual guests will be charged the single occupancy rate if they do not want to share the apartment with another guest. If you desire the double rate and do not have a roommate, we will assign another guest (same gender) to share the unit with you. Rates are listed on the Guest Housing Pre-registration form and are based on occupancy and length of stay. All campus housing is considered to be NON-SMOKING, so guests will need to refrain from smoking within the units and within 15 feet of all entrances to buildings.
