Blackstone Hall

UPDATE 4/4/08: Blackstone Hall has been designated for limited Graduate Housing for the 2008-2009 year.  Current BSH Residents will have the opportunity to remain in their current suite for the upcoming year.  Unlike 906/914 Main Street, Blackstone Hall contracts do not include the summer months.  Students who wish to move in early or remain in their current Blackstone Hall apartment over the summer will need to apply for Summer Housing and will be billed at the standard Summer Housing Rate ($18 single / $16 double per day, $1700 single / $1500 double for the full summer).  For more details about summer housing visit the Summer Housing Information page.

There are both single and double spaces located in Blackstone Hall.  Graduate students who pursue this option would live in an apartment with other graduate students.  Other residents in Blackstone Hall will be Junior and Senior undergraduate students.  All rooms in Blackstone Hall are furnished and students will share a living room, bathroom, and premium kitchen with either 3 or 5 other students.  In addition to being a brand new facility, Blackstone Hall also offers amenities not found in other residence facilities, such as air-conditioning, wireless internet access, dishwashers, and premium study and lounge space.  For more details and photos check out the Blackstone Hall Project page located here, or contact the Office of Residential Life and Housing.

Graduate Housing Rates

* As of June 28, there are no spaces remaining in Clark Graduate Housing.  Students may elect to be waitlisted for a space in graduate housing.  Students will be allowed to withdraw their waitlist application and be refunded their deposit unless a space opens up for them.  Once offered a space, the housing deposit is no longer refundable.

• As a courtesy, there is no additional cost to reside in Graduate Housing in 906/914 Main Street during the summer leading into the academic year for which you have signed a housing contract. This allows graduate students a chance to acclimate to the Worcester Area before taking on the rigors of their academic pursuit.  Students who elect to move into their housing assignment early and receive a room key to their assignment are financially responsible for the full semester charge, even if you subsequently withdraw from Clark University.  There is no option to remain in University Housing after your contract has ended.
  
  
• If you receive a monthly stipend during the semester, you may be able to have your semester rent paid via a "stipend-deduction".  This may be requested in person, through your student account counselor.  The Accounting Office is located at 20 Downing Street, on the 2nd floor.

Applying for Graduate Housing

Students wishing to apply for Graduate Housing for the 2008-2009 year should submit a:

• Graduate Housing Request Form
• 906/914 Graduate Housing Contract  (Signed)

or
Blackstone Hall Graduate Housing Contract (Signed)

  or
  $1500 Deposit (New Graduate Students applying for Blackstone Hall)

Students wishing to remain in their current Graduate Housing assignment next year must have submitted their forms by Friday, April 11, 2008.  Other assignments are filled on a first come, first served basis, and students should submit their applications and deposits early for the best chance at securing Graduate Housing. 

Deposits will be refunded to students who are waitlisted for Graduate Housing and choose to live off campus instead.  Deposits are non-refundable for any student offered a Graduate Housing assignment and who chooses not to accept that assignment for any reason.

Deposits may be paid by check to Clark University.  Checks should be made payable to Clark University, and should be mailed directly to the Residential Life and Housing Office at the following address:

Clark RLH Office
950 Main Street
Worcester, MA 01610

Deposits can also be paid by Credit Card, Money Order, or bank transfer.  To pay using by one of these methods you will need to contract the Cashier's Office directly at 508-793-7422 and ask to pay a housing deposit in the appropriate amount ($300 for Main Street and all current Graduate Housing residents, $1500 for new Grad Students applying for housing in Blackstone Hall).
