Submitted By: Office of Residential Life

Please note that the University will be closed for Winter Break from Friday, Dec. 23, 2022 - Monday, Jan. 2, 2023. During this time, most campus offices will not be available. Public Safety will continue to be open throughout the break.

 

Residence Hall Information:

Any student who has not completed a Winter Break Housing Request Form and has been approved to stay needs to depart campus by Wednesday, Dec. 14 at 10 a.m.

Card access will be shut off for the duration of Winter Break. If you are not able to depart by Dec. 14, are required to sign up for Winter Break Housing.

 

Break Housing Information:

Winter Break housing is available for students from the day after finals end for the fall semester until residence halls re-open for the spring semester. Any student who needs to be on campus during this time must pay a $50 Winter Break Housing Application Fee and complete a Winter Break Housing Application in the housing portal.

 

Preparing your space for Winter Break:

Please complete the below checklist before leaving your housing unit for winter break:

  • Take home all belongings (medicine, ID, clothing, etc.) you will need for the break. Students will not be permitted in residential spaces after checking out.
  • Leave refrigerators plugged in.
  • Dispose of any perishable items in refrigerators. Any perishable items left in refrigerators and common spaces will be disposed of.
  • Ensure all windows are closed and locked.
  • Leave the heat on and set it to the lowest setting.
  • Clean your bedroom and common spaces.

  • Take out and dispose of trash and any food that will spoil in dumpsters.
