Deposits must be submitted through the Housing Registration portal. The remaining 60% will be due upon check-in. Interns will receive an invoice that will detail any payments made and the remaining balance on their account. Invoices will take a few weeks to process after their deposit has been submitted.

Roommate Assignments and Requests
Roommate Assignments and Requests

Interns who select a double room will be auto-assigned a roommate by our registration system. While we do not match roommates, we do accept roommate requests. Both interns must have selected the double room option and they must each email shc@pdx.edu to request each other. We will not place interns in the same room until we receive a request from both parties individually. Intern assignments generally work out well for the summer. However, our staff are here to support if any concerns arise.
