Where and When
Data+ 2024 will operate in Gross Hall on Duke’s West campus, with occasional use of other facilities on West Campus. To foster a sense of community, living on campus is strongly encouraged; students are housed with other +Programs students. On campus students receive housing and a meal plan.

Expectations
Participants are expected to participate full-time in person with their teams and may not accept employment or take classes for the duration of the program. If a student cannot be present for the entirety of the program, they must provide advance notice to program administrators in writing. Excessive absence may impact a student’s stipend.
2024 Program Details:
Award/Stipend
In order to receive your first award payment on time, visit DukeHub and set up direct deposit before May 1. Payments will be paid in equal halves on May 31 and June 30.
Housing
It is expected that +Programs students (Code+, Data+, CS+, Climate+, Applied Ethics+, and Math+) will live together in Keohane. Being co-located will provide countless opportunities to socialize, spontaneously get together, share activities, and create a sense of community. On campus housing decisions are due by Monday, April 8.
Students who live on campus are expected to move out after spring semester ends and return for move-in. Move-in is on Sunday, May 19. Need extension housing between move out and move in? See below.
The following apply to any +Program student living on campus:
- You do not need to apply for housing or a meal plan.
- If you want to request a specific roommate, let us know who it is (you’ll need their Unique ID) and which program they are with.
- Move-in day is Sunday, May 19. Check in will be between noon and 4pm. If you can’t arrive between noon and 4pm, contact us in advance.
- Your award covers your room and meal plan from May 19 to July 26; you are responsible for all other expenses.
- Move-out is Saturday, July 27 before noon. If you move out before July 27, you must advise us in advance. If you have a key, you must return it to Conference and Event Services to avoid a charge.
MOVE-IN
Check-in on move-in day will be from 12:00 to 4:00pm. If you can’t check in during this time, notify ariel.dawn@duke.edu.
Only non-Duke students will receive a physical key. Duke students should use their mobile DukeCard to access their dorm.
SDAO (STUDENT DISABILITY ACCESS OFFICE) ACCOMMODATIONS
If you have an SDAO, let us know and provide a copy of your letter.
EXTENSION HOUSING
If you live on campus and need housing between the end of spring semester and Code+ move-in, apply through the housing portal in April.
Extension housing is available until May 13. If you need additional housing (until May 19), use the Summer Housing Application in the portal and select the option Conference and Events Services Bridge Housing as the reason, then enter the dates May 13 – May 19.
If you need housing between the end of Data+ and fall semester, apply through the portal in July.
Students are responsible for extension housing fees. Submission of the form does not guarantee approval. Requests will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning mid-April. You will be notified of your extension status within three days of submission. In the event your request is approved, you may be required to relocate out of your current spring semester assignment to a different assignment on campus. If you have questions, email housing@duke.edu.
Dining
If you live on campus, a meal plan will be loaded on your DukeCard at the beginning of your stay. The plan is a declining cash balance you can use to purchase food, snacks, and drinks during the program and is available on the day you check in. Meal plans are non-refundable; we encourage you to deplete the balance. To view your balance, ask for your receipt after you make a purchase.
Meal plan Tips:
- When checking out, tell the cashier you are using “Conference Food”
- Ask for a receipt to see the balance. You can also check the balance on the eAccounts app and portal.
Vendors
- Find dining locations, menus, and hours
- The Cafe 300 (inside Swift) will be open 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 8 pm daily with snacks and other provisions (opens May 31)
- The meal plan can be used for Merchant on Points
- The meal plan can also be used to purchase snacks at the Duke Lobby Shop (Bryan Center)
Parking
If you have a valid parking permit for the current academic year, it is valid until mid-August. Beginning in early May, you can purchase 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day permits valid at 300 Swift Ave., Blue Zone, and East surface lots from Parking and Transportation. Buses and vans will also run. For questions, contact tranpark@duke.edu.
International Students:
If you do not have a U.S. Taxpayer ID in the form of a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), take your Data+ offer email to Duke Visa Services (no appointment necessary) to request one. It can take 10 weeks to receive an ITIN. If Duke does not have your ITIN, your award payment may be delayed.
Checks and US tax forms cannot be mailed outside of the US. If you need your Duke mailbox to remain open during the summer, contact dukepostoffice@duke.edu.
