Conference Services offers limited on-campus housing for students who are taking CWU classes during the summer, but are not academic year students at CWU, offering the convenience of living on campus while taking classes, with the flexibility of being able to select check in and check out dates on your own terms.

Barto is centrally located on campus, close to the Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC) with air-conditioned rooms, two single beds per room, shared bathrooms down the hall, mini fridge/microwave, and wireless internet. Bedding and towels are provided and exchange service is once per week.
