Housing Information

College housing is closed during certain vacation periods; therefore, students are required to vacate their rooms during these periods. The times for vacating College Residences are listed below. It is important that students and parents are aware of these times and make necessary arrangements well in advance. A $50 per night charge will be added to the student’s bill if he or she stays beyond or returns earlier than the prescribed times without permission. Exemptions are granted for extenuating circumstances only.

Students seeking permission to remain in an on-campus residence, including Greek houses, one additional night or to return one day early during a college break (e.g. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring, or Summer) due to extenuating circumstances, must obtain an Extended-Stay Request Form and submit it to the appropriate dean’s office no later than two weeks before the break. The Extended-Stay Request Form can be obtained from the residence hall director and must be signed by both the residence hall director and the appropriate dean. A $25 fee will be charged to the student’s account for each night of extended stay.
