Break Housing Information
WHY DO I NEED TO REQUEST BREAK HOUSING? You must request break housing because the residence hall license agreement does not include breaks. Doors will lock Friday, March 7 at 6pm, and your ID card will not provide access unless you request break housing. Check your Residence Life Handbook for details.
WHAT IF I'M AN ATHLETE? Athletes are responsible for checking with their coaches regarding break housing. All necessary requests should be turned in by the deadline.
CHANGES/CANCELATIONS: If you need to change your dates, please complete the form again. If you need to cancel, complete the cancelation form.

CARD & KEY ACCESS: Security doors will be locked at all times. Card access to the residence halls will be given to each student registered for break housing. 12-to-12 access will be provided, meaning, those who request access for the night of March 10, for example, will have access from 12:00pm (noon) on March 10 until 12:00pm (noon) on March 11. If you plan to stay past 12:00pm (noon) you will be charged for another night of stay.”
