The residence halls and food services are officially closed during the Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring breaks. Room and board charges do not include these scheduled vacation periods; however, housing will be provided for continuing students wishing to stay during breaks for an additional charge. Contracted students may store their belongings in their rooms over the breaks during the academic year; however, the University does not assume responsibility for these items.

Break housing sign-up deadlines are posted throughout the residence halls prior to each scheduled break. Failure to meet these sign-up times will result in a minimum late fee of $25.00 and the possibility of the University's inability to house you during your requested stay. Johnstone Center, Roskie Hall, and the North Hedges Suites will consistently remain open during the break times; however, students living in all other halls may be required to move during break housing times to unoccupied rooms in the open halls. Due to safety and security issues, guests are not allowed during interim or break housing periods. Mail/packages are not distributed or forwarded during break periods.
