On-campus housing opening and closing dates are published in the University calendar and are posted on the Housing and Residential Experience website.
Breaks
Campus residences are officially closed during Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. Students are not contractually entitled to occupy their rooms during these periods. However, at the discretion of the Associate Dean of Students for Housing and Residential Experience or designee, students may be permitted to occupy their rooms during these periods only if they register to do so and are approved by Housing and Residential Experience. Prior to these breaks, students will receive instructions for registering to stay. Failure to register may result in exclusion from the residences and/or corrective action through the University’s accountability process.
End of Spring Semester/Commencement Week
All residence halls close at 9am the first Saturday following examinations. All residents must completely vacate and check out of their residences except for graduating residents and residents approved for extensions by Housing and Residential Experience. Extensions are ordinarily approved only for exceptional circumstances or for students with official University business. Graduating residents must completely vacate and check out no later than 1pm of the Saturday following commencement. Any other resident who is granted an extension may be required to vacate their term assignment and relocate to another building/room space at the sole discretion of Housing and Residential Experience.
