  COMMENCEMENT FAQS

  
  

Preparing for Winter Break

• Resident students should make plans to depart campus within 24 hours of their last final, or by December 19 at 12:00 p.m., whichever comes first. Halls will reopen January 15 at 9:00 a.m., students may not return to campus until this day and time unless approved to do so BEFORE departure for winter break.


• Students are not permitted to stay in the residence halls over the break, except for limited circumstances (e.g. in-season student athletes and approved student workers).


• We will be reaching out to your student via email with details on closing expectations and the link to apply to stay on campus for any time during the hall closure. Please note that the reasons for staying are limited as the expectation is all students depart campus for the entirety of the break.
