As WWC students have different housing needs than traditional students, the WWC housing contract has been constructed to provide housing from the time WWC move-in and Orientation occurs in August until Commencement closing in May. WWC students are able to stay in residence through all academic year break periods without additional charges. WWC housing for 2011-2012 is $5245 for the academic year. WWC students wishing to reserve their room for the coming academic year are required to sign their lease for the coming year prior to leaving for summer break. Current returning students will need to sign their 2011-2012 lease the week of April 11th.
WWC students have the ability to remain in their academic year rooms throughout the summer sessions as well regardless of whether they are taking summer classes. Summer housing is billed separately than the academic year housing contract. Summer housing for 2011 is $500 per month, prorated by check-in and check-out dates. RSVP for summer housing online by April 25th. WWC students who plan to leave campus for the summer but are returning for fall semester have the ability to leave their belongings in their room without paying for summer housing as long as they complete a checkout and return their room key before leaving campus.
On campus housing is available in Prentis Hall year-round for single mothers and their children.
