Residence halls that are designated for break housing are open during all academic year break periods (Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring). All other residence halls close during break periods and students are required to leave during the closure period. Students who have an anticipated need of remaining on campus during any portion of a break are encouraged to select a space in a break housing residence hall during housing selection.
The rate for all break housing residence halls is an additional $50.00 (per semester), which is built directly into the student's semesterly housing charges.
