Non-Academic Year residence halls close for the Winter Break at 5:00 pm on December 16th and reopen at 12:00 noon on January 2nd (Spring Intersession and Spring Semester). As the break approaches, students living in Buchanan-Droke, Founders, Futrall, Gibson, Gladson-Ripley, Hotz Honors, Maple Hill East, South & West, Pomfret, Reid, Walton, and Yocum Halls will receive a hall closing checklist to complete and sign prior to leaving campus. The Northwest Quad, Duncan Avenue Apartments, Gregson, Holcombe, and Humphreys Halls remain open during the break for residents only.
If your student needs to stay in the residence hall past 5:00 pm on December 16th, then your student must complete an Extended Stay Request From and return it to their Coordinator of Residence Education (CRE) no later than Monday, December 12th. The maximum length for a Fall Semester Extended Stay is 12:00 noon on Sunday, December 18th.
Below is a Winter Break Room Checklist, provided by University Housing, which your student will receive before they leave campus. Use this list as a reminder to discuss these items with them.
During the break, staff in all residence halls carry out routine pest control procedures and perform room furniture inventory audits.
