Residents of the student housing program must adhere to all policies, rules, regulations, etc. set forth in the Summer of Art Handbook. The handbook is mailed to each student upon receipt of registration and is also available online at www.otis.edu/soa. Residents have a nightly curfew of 10:00pm and may not be away from their assigned rooms overnight. Students who are in violation of any of the policies, rules, regulations, etc. or otherwise create an unsafe or unproductive climate may be disciplined by Otis at its sole and exclusive discretion. The discipline may include dismissal of the student from the program without any refund and/or the receipt of a grade of “F”.

Refund Policy: Payments for summer accommodations must be paid in full in order to secure a space. Due to the nature of the housing program, refunds are not provided once the summer housing payment is received. The only exception that will be made to the policy is if the space being vacated is filled with another student. All cancellations/refund requests must be received in writing. Refund requests will not be processed until after the start of the Summer of Art Program.
