Continuing Residents and Semester Breaks
Fall residents who renew their contract or book a room for the winter semester are required to book the winter break also and pay any associated fees. There are no exceptions. The university does not offer a checkout option for continuing residents. Residents who have a winter booking may reside and/or leave their belongings in their rooms during this break. Residents who do not reside in the room or who check out of the room but are returning for the next semester are responsible for the winter break fee.
Winter residents who renew their contract or book a room for the spring semester are permitted to reside and/or leave their belongings in their rooms during the days between the winter and spring semesters.
Different room layouts, floor plans, features, and requirements are found in the different hales. Review each hale to learn more about the different housing arrangements available.
