Need to Stay on Campus During Spring Break?
Residence Halls on both campuses (including University Heights College Suites) will close for spring break at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 8, and reopen at 9 a.m. on Sunday, March 16.
All students are required to check out of their rooms for the duration of the break unless they have applied for and received approval to remain on campus during part or all of the break.
If you require on-campus housing for any portion of spring break, please complete the Spring Break Housing Application as soon as possible (and by Wednesday, March 5 at 5 p.m.) for consideration. Your request will be reviewed by a member of the Residence Life staff and you will be informed of the decision via email.
As the housing contract does not cover break housing, if you are approved to stay over spring break, the fee is $125 and will be applied to your student account.
