Issue 20

Stay up-to-date with all the latest happenings in residence and on campus.

Before you leave for Winter Break

Winter Break Reminders! ❄️ As you bid farewell to your residence, here's a quick checklist to ensure a smooth return:

1. Return your Good-to-Go containers! No one wants to return to a stinky room.
2. Take your garbage and recycling out, and also dispose of any leftover food
3. Close both panes of your window—this helps prevent freezing pipes and floods
4. Lock your door and remember to bring your keys with you

Do you need to stay in residence over the break?

Let us know by December 20.

If you need to extend your residence stay beyond 3 pm on the day after your last exam, or if you need to remain in residence over the break, please go to the Student Residence and Dining Portal to fill out one or both of the below forms:

1. Residence Extension Request – to request to remain in residence past 3 pm on the day after your last exam
2. Residence Stayover Form – to request to stay in residence over the break (for some or all of the time between December 21 and January 5)
