Students will be billed their daily cohort rate for each night they remain in campus housing during break. The charge for Friday, December 15 is waived for students who submit their break housing request prior to Wednesday, December 13 at 11:59 p.m. The normal daily break housing rates will apply for students who sign-up for Friday after the Wednesday deadline. There are no housing charges for Heritage Commons residents during break. Students requesting a housing change for spring semester must be completely moved into their new room before they depart for winter break. Break housing rates can be found on our website.

Moving back in

Residence halls will reopen on Sunday, January 28 at 9 a.m. If your student has a need to arrive prior to opening, they can request to arrive on Saturday, January 27, through the housing portal. Students who are approved to arrive on Saturday will be charged their daily cohort rate. Students are NOT permitted to return to campus prior to Saturday without a specific documented need. Students who have travel reasons to arrive early before Spring Semester hall opening should make arrangements to stay off-campus with a friend or make hotel reservations. Students who access their room without approval will be billed the unapproved rate of $55/day. 

Future Housing Options
