Auggie Basics Summer Housing Application

 

Auggie Basics Housing is prohibited to all students in their first year at Augsburg: Including transfer students. Auggie Basics Housing is also prohibited to all PSEO students.

About the Program

Auggie Basics Housing is an emergency bridge program designed to address the needs of students who are experiencing immediate housing insecurities. The purpose of the program is to provide a temporary bridge for students whose housing is not stable as they seek to identify a permanent solution.

Students accepted into Auggie Basics Housing will live on campus without cost to the student. Regardless of when students enter the program, the housing commitment will cover the full academic year OR the full summer, if needed. 

If students secure permanent housing elsewhere, or if students withdraw/leave from the university, they will be released from the program, and the spots will be offered to other students. 

Eligibility for Auggie Basics Housing

Students may apply for housing either for the summer term and/or for the academic year. Students may participate in the program for up to one academic year (including one summer, if accepted). Being chosen for Auggie Basics Housing in the summer does not guarantee participation for the academic year (and vice-versa).

Academic Year

To be eligible for Auggie Basics Housing during the academic year, students must:

  • Be returning students (incoming first-year and transfer students are not eligible).
  • Not be receiving other housing aid from Augsburg University.
  • Be registered for classes during each semester they participate in the program.
  • Not have received Auggie Basics Housing in a prior academic year.

Summer

To be eligible for Auggie Basics Housing during the summer, students must:

  • Be returning students (incoming first-year/transfer students and students who have graduated are not eligible).
  • Not be receiving other housing aid from Augsburg University.
  • Be registered for classes during summer term and/or the following fall semester.
  • Not have received Auggie Basics Housing during a prior summer.
