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 $400 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.

Limited space for a temporary room assignment relocation is available for students who are not able to leave campus for spring break. You will move temporarily for spring break (you can leave your items in your permanent room assignment, only taking what you need for the week to your temporary room assignment). See below for instructions to Request Housing!
