Campus Housing Reminders

Housing and Residence Life would like to send out a few reminders regarding the end of the semester:

• 24-Hour Quiet Hours will begin on Friday night, 12/09/2022 at 9:00pm, and will not end until Friday, 12/16/2022, at 12:00pm (noon).
• You do NOT have to fully move-out of your room for this break if you are returning to university housing for the spring semester. Simply be sure to take any/all items with you that you will need during this break if you are not continuing to stay on campus, and follow any instructions provided by your building Residence Life staff regarding how to leave your room (items unplugged, heat set to 65 degrees, etc).
• Students planning to reside for any length of time on campus over the winter break (12/16/2022 - 01/12/2023) MUST fill out the Break Housing Request Form for the Winter Intersession, which is now available through the housing portal via myWSU, under the "Manage My Assignments" tab. Requests for break housing must be completed no later than 5:00pm, Wednesday, 12/07/2022. There is no cost to reside on campus over this break if you are returning to university housing for the spring semester.
• If you are NOT returning to live on campus for the spring semester, you are NOT permitted to reside on campus over winter break, and will be required to vacate by 12:00pm (noon) on Friday, 12/16/2022. If you are seeking a late check-out due to graduation or other extenuating circumstance, you may complete this form; however, your request may or may not be granted. If granted, you will be billed the daily break housing fee for the dates you stay.
• On this short form you will indicate the start and end dates you plan to be on campus (if you plan to come back and forth to campus, please leave the dates defaulted to start the end of the break period).
• PLEASE NOTE: Building card access will be removed after the end of the fall semester on 12/16/2022, and only those students who have notified HRL by filling out this form will retain their building access. Card access will not resume regularly until 01/13/2023 when the residence halls reopen for the spring semester through the housing contract.
• Failure to complete this form by the deadline date mentioned above, and requesting access at a later date may result in a one-time lock out charge of $10.00 in order for door access to be reactivated.
• Shocker Dining will be closed after lunch on Friday, December 16, 2022, and will reopen for the spring 2023 semester on Monday evening January 16, 2023, for dinner. While any fall semester dining dollars will still be available for utilization during this timeframe; students planning on staying over the winter break may opt into purchasing one or both of the two Break Meal Bundles available from Chartwells. We know not every student will be on campus for the whole break, so you may choose to purchase one, both, or neither of these options. Meal Bundle 1 is available from 12/16/2022 - 12/31/2022; Meal Bundle 2 is available from 01/01/2023 - 01/16/2023. Each bundle will include 31 meals (1 entree, 1 fruit, 1 chip, 1 bottled beverage), and will cost $279.00, which will be added to your student account. Meals will be available for pick up at the Groundhouse
• If you are leaving campus for the winter break, be sure you have retrieved any mail or packages from the front desk of your building. Unclaimed mail/packages received during the fall semester will be returned to sender over the winter break.
• Athletic events will continue over the winter break; therefore, if you are leaving campus but leaving your vehicle at WSU, be sure you are not parked in any of the reserved lots identified on this map. Your vehicle may be heavily ticketed and/or towed at your expense over this break if left in one of those reserved parking lots.
