Important Info About Checking Out of Residence Halls for Thanksgiving Break
Residence Halls on both campuses (including University Heights College Suites) will close for Thanksgiving break at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, November 27, and reopen at 9 a.m. on Sunday, December 1.
All students are required to check out of their rooms for the duration of the break unless they have applied for and received approval to remain on campus during part or all of the break.
If you require on-campus housing for any portion of Thanksgiving break, please complete the Thanksgiving Break Housing Application as soon as possible. Your request will be reviewed by a member of the Residence Life staff and you will be informed of the decision via email.
As the housing contract does not cover break housing, if you are approved to stay over the Thanksgiving Break, the fee is $75 and will be applied to your student account.
