NEED TO STAY ON CAMPUS FOR SPRING BREAK?

Certain buildings remain open during the break periods. Reach out to the Housing Assignment Office to discuss what space is available for a permanent room assignment change. This will allow you to stay in your room during the three closures. The cost is $510 for spring semester. If the room you are currently assigned to is in a non-break building, you will have to move now for the remainder of the academic year.
