December Closing

Fall 2023 Winter Break Housing Pilot Program

Based on student feedback we recognize that not everyone can travel home over the winter holiday.  This year we have three residence halls, Eastman Hall, Tallcott Hall, and Terrace 6, that will remain open during Winter Break. 

If you are not currently living in one of these residence halls, and you are interested in relocating to one of these halls so you can take advantage of this pilot program, please visit the Room Change page for information on requesting a room change.

All residence halls, except the Circle and Garden Apartments, Eastman Hall, Tallcott Hall, and Terrace 6, close at Noon on Saturday, December 16, 2023 for the Winter Break.

Since you are returning to the same room in the spring semester, keep your key when you leave for Winter Break.  You will not need to check-in when you return for the spring semester.
