We understand that some students may require extensions to the dates in the housing contract. Below we’ve outlined when residence halls are open for each break in the academic calendar year, and included a form students can use to submit requests for contract extensions.
Early move-in: The housing contract lists specific dates of arrival for new students and returning students. Typically, new students arrive on campus the Thursday prior to the start of classes, and returning students arrive the Sunday before the start of classes. Should a student need to extend their contract beyond their assigned move-in date, they should submit a request (via the form below). There will be a nightly charge, which will be added to the student’s University bill. The University meal plan will not be accessible until the start of the contract period.
Fall Break: All residence halls remain open. Dining options may be limited based on the number of students expected to stay on campus during the break.
Thanksgiving Break: All residence halls remain open. Dining options will be limited.
Winter Break: Most residence halls are closed. Winter break begins the Saturday of finals week and extends until the Sunday before spring semester classes begin. Students requiring housing during any part of this break should submit a request (via the form below). If a student’s request is approved, they will be charged a flat rate of $250.00 for the break period. No meals will be provided during the break, as most campus dining facilities will be closed.
Spring Break: All residence halls remain open. Dining options will be limited.
End of Semester: At the end of each semester, students are required to leave within 24 hours of their last exam, or on the Saturday of finals week (whichever comes first). Should a student need to extend their contract beyond their assigned move-in date, they should submit a request (via the form below). There will be a nightly charge, which will be added to the student’s University bill. The University meal plan will not be accessible until the start of the contract period.
