Winter Break

Residence Communities Close at 7 p.m. on December 13

Food service ends at 1:30 p.m. and doors lock at 7 p.m. Residents will not have access to their community over the break period, unless they register for Winter Break Housing.

To ensure the safety and security of our facilities, staff members check every resident's room during closing procedures. If a policy violation is observed while staff are securing the building, staff will document the violation and follow-up when the resident returns in January.

Residents found staying in the residence communities during Winter Break who did not register will be charged the full rate plus an administrative fee and may be subject to disciplinary proceedings.
