The Residence Halls are closed during Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Break. During this time, students are expected to go home or find accommodation elsewhere. If this is not possible, residents can fill out a request form. This form will be evaluated by the Director and Assistant Director and then the student will be notified on whether or not they may stay on campus during the designated break.

During the first 2 weeks of the Fall and Spring Semester, no room changes will be made unless deemed necessary by the Director or Assistant Director.
After the 2 week freeze period, you may request a room change with the Director or Assistant Director and they will decide if they can accommodate the room change based on space. Once granted a room change, you will have 48 hours to move from your current room to your new room.
