Barracks (Housing) Check-In

To secure a room in barracks you must complete room and meal registration in Post View or through the non-cadet online application.  Summer rooms will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

All summer session students residing in barracks are required to register/pay for a room and meal plan before arriving for each session. 

Students have the option of living in barracks or in Lexington and the surrounding area during the Summer Session.

  • NOTE: Per VMI policy, high school students are not permitted to reside in barracks.

There are no provisions for storing personal items in the barracks after graduation for those returning for Summer Session. 

At the end of each session, you must clear the Barracks in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Commandant's Office.

If you would like to stay in Barracks for the long weekend between sessions you will need to coordinate your stay with the Commandant's Office and the Cadet Accounting Office. You will be assessed an additional fee as the room charge only covers the 5-week session. Coordination with both offices and payment must take place prior to the weekend (between sessions).
