ACADEMIC BREAK INFORMATION
Residence halls will closed during the Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. Dates may vary and information for specific dates can be found on the Academic Calender.
Students: as you leave for break, you are asked to do the following:
- Turn off alarm clocks
- Unplug all appliances except refrigerators (Winter Break)
- Clean room
- Take out trash
- Close and lock windows
- Close blinds
- Turn off all lights
- Close and lock door
You will be given a check-out form re-stating all these tasks and are asked to sign the form, stating that the tasks have been completed. The last resident to leave is responsible for giving the form to their RA or taping it to the door knob of their room. The RAs will inspect the room during break for fire safety and that residents have properly checked out. Fines will be assessed for students who do not check-out properly.
STAYING FOR BREAK
If you need to remain on campus during any or all breaks, you must complete the Break Occupancy Agreement that is available on the StarRez Portal.
Residents requesting to stay in the residence halls must meet the following criteria:
- In-season athlete: athletes must fill out their own paperwork to stay - your coaches will not do this for you.
- All other residents that do not meet the criteria listed above but have a need to stay on campus during break will be granted approval at the discretion of the Director of Residence Life.
Unapproved residents found in the halls during the break will be required to leave
immediately. Thank you for your cooperation.
