December 17, 2011 - ALL residential buildings close at 12:00pm (noon) on this day.
Pack all belongings that you will not be taking home during the break and store them properly on your bed. You will be given more detailed instructions as we get closer to that time period. Make sure to take all personal items that you will need between December 17, 2011 and January 25, 2012 as you will not be able to enter your room during this time period. It is important for us to stress that you will NOT be required to pack up and move out entirely, only take what you'll need for the winter break. Your Housing License Agreement is for both fall AND spring semester, so having you move out all of your belongings at the end of the fall semester does not make sense.
What If I Am Unable to Go Home During the Winter Break?
We can provide Winter Intersession housing at a rate of $45 per day. Please keep in mind that your application to stay for the Intersession period is NOT GUARANTEED. If you meet one of the following criteria and need to apply, please understand that your application will be reviewed by the Director of Housing and a determination will be made regarding your acceptance. If you do not fit into one of these categories, your application will not be approved:
- International students with travel restrictions
- Intercollegiate athletes who are still in season and have been identified by the coach (you will still need to apply)
- Any student taking Intersession classes (you will need to provide a copy of your Intersession schedule when you apply)
If your application is approved, you will need to pay the entire fee PRIOR to December 17, 2011. Financial Aid does not cover the intersession housing fee.
Applications will be available in the Housing Office beginning November 21, 2011. The deadline for applying for Winter Intersession housing is Wednesday, December 7, 2011.
Have a great rest of the fall semester!
