University Break Housing
兔子先生 provides housing options over break periods. Please read the information on this page carefully if you need to request to stay during a break.
During break periods when the residence halls and university are closed (Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break), students typically leave campus. However, we understand that occasionally students may have a need to stay on campus in their assigned building and room. Students who have a need to be on campus must request to do so. Students who are part of a University-approved activity, group or team should be submitted as part of a Group Housing Request by the group or team's coach or faculty/staff adviser. Group Housing Requests are submitted through Team Dynamix.
For residents assigned to Residence Halls: the period between Fall and Spring semester, Winter Term, Thanksgiving Break, and Spring Break are not included in the housing contract; dining halls may be closed or have limited services during these periods. Students who request housing during early arrival, break periods and Winter Term agree to pay an additional room rental rate and follow all provisions stated in this contract. Students must request housing from the Campus Services Center prior to any designated university break periods or Winter Term in order to stay in university housing. Students may not have guests stay with them during these periods. Other students including roommates must request their own permission to arrive early, depart late and stay during breaks.
For residents assigned to Heritage Commons Apartments: The period between Fall and Spring semester, Winter Term, Thanksgiving Break, and Spring Break are included in this contract (dining halls may be closed or have limited services during these periods). Students may not have guests stay with them during these periods. Other students including roommates must request their own permission to arrive early, depart late and stay during breaks.

Students who are not part of a group may request to stay on campus during a break period by using the appropriate break housing form found on their before the break period begins.
Students submitting requests should include specific details explaining the need to be on campus during the time residence halls are closed. The nightly charge is determined based on the student's tuition promise cohort (see chart below), and is added to their Bursar bill. When a student registers for break housing, access is assigned to their ID card.
There will be limited meal service provided during break periods and the University will be closed most of the time. Armstrong Student Center will have limited hours during breaks. King Library usually has some limited hours during the breaks. Visit the Armstrong Student Center and for more details.
