Winter Break

Student’s who do not request Winter Break contracts will need to vacate their rooms 24 hours after their last final exam or by 10 a.m. Sunday, December 13th, whichever comes first. Don’t forget to pack your toothbrush, favorite CD and everything else you want with you over break – hall staff will not be available to take you to your room over the break to get items your forgot to take with you. Only residents with Winter Break contracts may enter the residence halls during this time. The OneCards of residents without contracts will not activate the outside door locks while the buildings are closed for break.

If you want to stay on campus during Winter Break:

Lincoln Hall and Douglas Hall do not have a Winter Break contract option. Residents of these halls may request a temporary break housing assignment in halls that do have the Winter Break housing option. A limited number of spaces will be available and will be assigned on a first come first served basis.
