Fall semester

Residence houses open in late August/early September for the fall semester and remain open through fall break and Thanksgiving break. Houses close at the conclusion of fall semester final exams for the winter break. Students who will be returning in the spring may leave their belongings in their rooms. Students who are not returning should remove all of their belongings the day they leave so the rooms may be prepared for new students.

Houses remain open for Fall Break and Thanksgiving Break.

All residence houses are closed during the winter break with the exception of Academic Year-Round Housing. Students may apply for winter break housing if they have a College-affiliated reason to remain on campus for the break. Approved students will be housed in the Plex and Academic Year-Round Housing beginning the first week of January. Applications for winter break housing are emailed to all residential students during the first week of December.

Summer break housing

The residence houses are used for conferences during the summer. Two houses are used to house summer residents. Summer residents are students who are working on campus, taking summer courses, completing internships or working with faculty members on research. Summer residents who stay for the entire summer move into transitional housing for approximately two weeks to allow Facilities Management the opportunity to prepare the houses. Summer residents are charged for room and meals.

Applications are available in May. Students graduating in May are not eligible for summer housing, however, they can contact the events office to determine if they are eligible for housing through conferences.
