Study Abroad and Housing

No Participation in Fall Housing Selection

• Students seeking to study abroad in the fall must apply through the International & Domestic Programs office and be approved. The IDP Office will notify Housing and Residence Life of approved students before Housing Selection.
• Students approved for Study Abroad do not participate in Housing Selection, do not complete Housing Applications and are not provided selection times. 
• Should a student rescind their Study Abroad plans, they must do so in writing at housing@pomona.edu AND the International and Domestic Programs Office. The date in which students do this will result in the following Housing Selection processes:
  • Before April 1^st – you will be provided a Housing Application and you can participate in Housing Selection.
  • After April 1^st – you will be placed on a housing waitlist and administratively placed when space opens throughout the summer.

Returning to Campus Housing

• Housing plans for Spring are coordinated by Housing and Residence Life in November. 
  • Fall suite and double residents with known Spring openings will be notified by HRL and may be able to 'pull' abroad students into a Spring space. 
  • Non-suited single room residents will not be able to 'give' their rooms. 
  • Since Spring housing is coordinated in November, there are no formal 'holds' on Spring rooms during a Fall Housing Selection process (coordinated February – April), but informal planning is suggested.
• Students on full year abroad who are not returning to campus housing must be mindful that Housing Selection for the following year takes place in February – April.
