Summer Guests

Summer 2009

Our Summer Guest Housing Program will begin on June 16, 2009 and end on August 22, 2009.

Intent of Program

The Summer Guest Housing Program is intended for individuals who are not Caltech students, but will be participating in specific Caltech Student-Faculty Programs or attending a specific conference/event sponsored by the Institute or JPL.

Caltech undergraduate students seeking summer housing should participate in their house summer picks or the unaffiliated summer lottery.

Program Information

Due to an increased number of Institute sponsored conferences and events, housing for individuals outside of these programs will be extremely limited, on a first come, first served basis and is not guaranteed. Priority will be given to individuals in specific sponsored programs, conferences and events.

Housing for Summer 2009 will be available from June 16, 2009 to August 22, 2009. Guests will not be allowed to check in until after 12:00 p.m.-noon on June 16, 2009 or 9:00 a.m. for any business day after June 16th. If you need housing outside of these dates, please make the necessary alternative arrangements, as space will not be available.

Application Information

Students participating in any of the Student-Faculty Programs (i.e. SURF, MURF, USRP, Amgen and Cambridge) will be receiving a link to the appropriate on-line application via email from the Student-Faculty Programs Office. If you are one of these participants, please fill out the link provided by your program by the May 1, 2009 deadline.  DO NOT use the link below as it is for other independent summer research students.

All other students interested in summer guest housing may click on the link below to submit an application. Again, please keep in mind that housing will be extremely limited and offered on a first come, first served basis.

2009 Summer Housing Application Form

The deadline to submit a summer guest housing application is 5:00 p.m. on May 1, 2009.

UID Requirements

Our database system is tightly integrated with Oracle (Caltech’s database management system). For security/emergency purposes, ALL visitors (even short-term) must have a UID number before they can be confirmed for housing. If you will be considered part of a Student-Faculty Programs group, you will be automatically issued a UID number. The SURF Office should provide you with the link to the appropriate housing application. If you will NOT be part of a Student-Faculty Programs group, please be sure to contact the professor you are visiting and have them submit the appropriate paperwork to Human Resources on your behalf. In most cases, the professor will have to submit a “Guest Data Sheet” to Human Resources in order for you to be issued a UID number. Our office will not be able to provide accommodations to those that have not been issued a UID number.

Please note: The following is applicable to all summer guests (including Student-Faculty Program participants).

Individuals arriving after business hours without a confirmed housing application/assignment will be subject to a one-time, non-refundable fee of $150.00 if they wish to check in during that time (subject to availability).

Individuals arriving during business hours will not be charged that fee for making last minute housing arrangements (subject to availability).
