Resources to help students prepare for break periods and end of the year closings.
All Residence Halls and Apartments close at 9:00am on Wednesday, May 22nd.
All students must vacate their buildings with all of their belongings by this time. Door access will turn off at 9:00am on May 22.
Students must make necessary travel arrangements to ensure they vacate their residence hall 24 hours after their final exam or before 9:00am on May 22, whichever comes first.
Anyone still in the building after 9:00am without prior permission will be fined $175 and will be asked to leave immediately. More information about the late departure policy is available below.
Students are expected to leave their room in the same condition as found upon move in. When a student checks out of their room, Housing & Residence Life professional staff will inspect the space. Issues or concerns identified will first be compared to the Room Condition Report on file to determine if they were pre-existing. Any repairs caused by intentional/egregious damage, lack of cleaning, missing furnishings, removal of abandoned property, and missing keys/re-cores will be assessed during this inspection and charged to a student's account. Vandalism may also be reported to the Office of Student Accountability & Restorative Practices.
The Housing & Residence Life professional team makes every attempt to attribute damage and vandalism charges to the individual(s) responsible, but when those responsible are not identified, all members of a unit, room, or floor may be charged equally for damages. It is our hope that affected residents will cooperate with the Housing & Residence Life professional team to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Before leaving for break periods, we ask residents to help us save energy by setting their thermostats to 68 degrees. To provide the best guidance, residents can find their thermostat setting instructions linked below.
Any student who has not left the residence halls by the 9:00am on Wednesday, May 22 deadline will be subject to a $175 fine, which will be assessed to their student account.
Only those students who have been granted advanced permission in writing by Housing and Residence Life professional staff will be allowed to stay past the deadline without being fined.
Students who need to remain past the 9:00am closing time will need to complete a Late Stay Request Form within the Student Housing Gateway by 11:59pm on Sunday, May 12.
Late Stay Requests will only be approved for the following reasons:
Students can direct any questions about their late stay request to the Residence Life Coordinator of their respective community.
