Winter Break Housing
The University offers housing for students who have a need for housing for the entirety of the break.
Students who only need a few nights of housing at the start or end of the break should make their own off-campus housing arrangements via hotel, short-term rentals, etc.
Students should be aware that there will be reduced University services during Winter Break (including dining). The University will be closed from December 21 through January 3.
