Upcoming Processes & Deadlines
Health & Safety Inspections will be conducted in all residence halls in early October. Staff from the Residential Center and Life Safety will check each room/suite/apartment to ensure that the space is compliant with fire safety regulations and otherwise free of health and safety issues. Your Residence Director will send more information about the process via email.
Winter Break Housing information and costs will be available beginning in mid-November, with the deadline to apply in early December. More information will be available here and via email at that time.
Fall Closing: The residence halls will close at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. All students must depart from their residence hall within 24 hours after completion of their last final exam, or by 5:00 p.m. on 12/18. Students who will be coming back for the spring semester are permitted to keep items in their room over the break period. Students with extenuating circumstances are welcome to request a late stay until 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, December 19, and more information about that process will be available beginning in November. Any students wishing to stay past December 19 must sign up for Winter Break Housing.
Housing for Students Returning from Study Abroad / Leave of Absence: Students who are currently abroad or on leave for fall 2024 will be eligible to participate in a special housing assignment process to obtain on-campus housing for spring 2025.

I need help with...
If you are experiencing difficulty living with your current roommate, the first step is to speak with your Resident Assistant (RA). They are trained in conflict mediation and resolution, and they can help you and your roommate find ways to live together successfully. Your RA lives on your floor / in your building, and we encourage you to reach out to them with any concerns you may have. If needed, your RA will also connect with your Residence Director (RD) regarding the situation.
Our team is dedicated to helping you find the housing option that best fits your needs, based on what availability we have on campus. If you would like to explore possibilities for a room change, please contact your Residence Director. For more information about how to contact them, please click here.
Please note that, due to the high number of students living in campus housing this year, options for room changes are very limited. If you are seeking a room change due to a disagreement or conflict with a roommate, the first step will be for our team to assist you in resolving that situation. Your RD and RA will be able to assist you with this mediation process.
