Break Closing and Housing
Winter Stay
Winter Stay housing begins at 9 a.m., Thursday, December 19, 2024 and ends at 9 a.m., Thursday, January 16, 2025. All students wishing to remain on campus during break must register. Please note that only students with fall 2024 and spring 2025 housing assignments are eligible for winter stay.
Please check back in November for more information on registration and fees. Winter Stay registration is a flat rate, and there is no reduced fee for a partial stay. Eligible students want to stay or return early; it may be cheaper to utilize off-campus options.
Who do I contact if I have a question about Winter Stay?
