Leaving Campus During Breaks
Building Closures
Residence halls close only during Winter Break and after Spring Commencement. Residential students are welcome to stay in their assigned space on campus during Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, and Spring Break. No action is required to access rooms during these break periods. During Winter Break and after Spring Commencement, residence halls close and CLRE will consider late departures/early arrivals on a case-by-case basis. GWorld access will be turned off while residence halls are closed unless late departure/early arrival is approved through CLRE. Winter Break Housing requests open in November, and End-of-year Extended Stay requests open in late April. Questions about break housing can be sent to [email protected].
Preparing your Room for an Extended Leave
When preparing to leave for a break period, CLRE recommends several steps to ensure your room stays in the best condition:
- Dispose of trash and remove all perishable foods.
- Close and lock windows. Close your blinds if you live on the ground floor; otherwise, leave your blinds open.
- Set your thermostat to 72 degrees.
- Unplug electrical appliances except for aquariums and refrigerators.
- Water plants and feed your fish.
- Turn off the lights.
- Take all necessary personal items you may need over the break – medication, passport, GWorld card, etc.
