Note: Should a student need to stay after the check-out time for any given break period due to an academic need, please contact the Office of Residence Life at least seven (7) days in advance.

Student Athletes & International Students: If you are participating in a sport or are an international student that will require remaining in the halls during break periods, Residence Life will be working with the Athletic Department and International Students to determine what days you must vacate and can return to the halls.
