HOUSING POLICIES
Housing schedules are aligned with the ACM Academic Calendar. Students should be aware that they will need to vacate their housing during the December/January holiday period and at the conclusion of the Spring term in May. If a student is enrolled in a summer session, they will need to vacate their housing at the conclusion of that session in mid-July. Students participating in a J-Term program may resume their housing between the end of the J-Term and the beginning of the spring semester. Any exceptions to this policy will entail an additional housing cost for the student. Any student who would like to stay in a housing outside of the published academic calendar must contact the Student Life Team within one month of beginning their program.
ACM offers intersession luggage storage for returning students. However, we cannot be held responsible for any damage, loss or theft.
ACM has a strict no pet policy in all program housing options. Students may receive program housing accomodations for classified and documented Certified Service Animals.
