All University housing officially closes during the Thanksgiving, winter, and spring break vacation periods. All students must leave the buildings during those periods and will not have access to the building during these periods.

The Housing License Agreement does not cover vacation periods; therefore, students must request, in advance, permission to reside in University housing during these periods. Failure to submit a request by the deadline may result in the denial of the request and/ or a late charge. Food service may not be available during vacation periods. It is possible that vacation housing may be available in a specific building and that students may need to relocate. Vacation closing dates are listed in the Housing License Agreement.

Residents may be charged $100 if they are found in the housing areas after the designated closing time of the building. Residents will also be escorted out of the residence hall or instructed to wait in the lobby until their transportation arrives.
