Dear Student:
As we near the halfway point in the semester, we are writing to provide some information about the upcoming spring break.
Class attendance
If you are traveling during the break, attend all of your classes as usual, including your last class before spring break starts and the first one after it ends. Professors generally do not give excused absences for students who leave early or return late; nor are they required to provide you with an opportunity to make up class work you missed due to your travel plans.
Housing, dining, and facility hours during spring break
- All students who live in the residence halls are welcome to stay in their regular assignment on campus for all or part of spring break. There is no additional cost and no permission needed.
- Most dining locations close after the dinner period on March 17; hours at each location are available from the spring break website. Hotung Café will be open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. from March 20 to 24; all other dining locations will be closed during the break.
- Students who are eligible for meal money support during spring break have received a separate message with detailed information about accessing that support.
- Tisch Library, Mayer Campus Center, Tisch Fitness Center, and other locations on campus will be operating with reduced hours during spring break. A list of break hours is available from the spring break website.
- The Jumbos are competing in several sports over spring break! Check out the full schedule.
Spring break is a great time for rest, a change of pace, time with friends and family, and reflection. We wish you a safe, healthy, and enjoyable break!
Sincerely,
Office of the Dean of Student Affairs
