The Sponsorship Process

  • Rosters and chart string information are due by April 15 for extensions, spring interim, and summer housing, and by July 15 for fall interim and early arrivals. Please use the Housing Sponsorship Form to submit this information for your students.
  • If you need to submit roster changes, use the Summer Housing Sponsorship Form – Roster Updates.
