Winter Break Housing

Room-only-interim housing is available to students wishing to stay during the winter break for an additional charge, as contracted room and board charges do not cover this scheduled vacation period (with the exception of University Residences apartments).

Pre-registration is required for anyone staying over break.

Interim housing is not available to students who are graduating in December or not returning in the spring. 

Special Note: If you live in Hawkins or Hillenbrand Hall, you will be unable to remain in your assigned space over break due to scheduled maintenance. Students living in Hawkins or Hillenbrand Hall, requiring housing, will be assigned to a temporary space and will NOT have access to their academic year assignment over break.
