Summer Bridge participants must live in an OSU Living Learning Program during the program and for the fall and spring semesters immediately following their participant in Summer Bridge. Preference is given to students who are interested in living in CEAT's Parker Hall Living Learning Program. Documented medical accommodations preventing students from living in a campus Living Learning Program are available and should be discussed with program staff in advance.

The room assignment process will take place in the spring semester before Summer Bridge begins. To prepare for success, be sure to submit your OSU Enrollment deposit as soon as possible after December 1 and complete the the OSU Housing Registration once it opens in February.

Participants rotate through various academic tracks (such as math, physics, intro to engineering), participate in design projects with college faculty, and hear from OSU campus resources and programs and attend study hall. Additionally, students might hear from our industry partners during a company spotlight or spend time in their small groups with peer mentors.

Students living in Parker Hall during Summer Bridge and the following academic year do not have to move out once moving into Parker Hall for Summer Bridge in July. These students will have the same room for the entire academic year. Students accepted to a different Living Learning Program and participating in Summer Bridge will be provided with temporary housing on campus during the first half of Summer Bridge and then will move into their permanent housing assignment before Summer Bridge ends.

Yes! Participants receive one hour of academic credit for UNIV 1111 - First Year Seminar after successfully completing the program.

Typically, only students who receive an accommodation through Student Accessibility Services can maintain a single room. If one does find a single room during the housing selection process, we cannot guarantee that room will remain a single room should we receive additional applicants for Summer Bridge or the Living Learning Program. Our priority is having as many CEAT students live in Parker Hall as possible.

No, participants must be first-time, full-time OSU students coming from high school.
