Vacation Periods


All residence halls are closed during the Thanksgiving break, Christmas and semester break, and spring break. Students wishing to remain on campus during these periods must request permission in writing from the Office of Residence Life. Students approved to remain in residence halls when they are closed will be charged a daily fee and may be re-assigned to a temporary room in a central area. The University has no liability for personal property left in students' rooms or units during vacation periods.

Students who return to their rooms early, without the prior approval of the Office of Residence Life, will be denied access to their rooms or billed accordingly for the daily fee and referred for disciplinary action.

All resident students must vacate their rooms or units and remove all personal belongings within 24 hours after the completion of the students' last exam in May, or by 6 p.m. on the last day of final examinations, whichever comes first. Graduating seniors may stay until noon the day after graduation.

All students are responsible for arranging transportation to and from campus for holidays and vacation periods. All applicable dates are published well in advance to allow for proper planning.

Since freshmen are not permitted to have cars, they should take extra initiative in planning and coordinating transportation.
