MOVING OUT<br />

Closings<br />

Are the residence halls closed during Thanksgiving and other breaks<br />

All halls remain open during Thanksgiving break and spring break. Winter and summer<br />

housing accommodations are available at an additional cost. If you will be staying during the<br />

breaks, you must inform your residence hall direc<strong>to</strong>r at least two weeks in advance.<br />

When do I check out for winter closing<br />

You are required <strong>to</strong> check out of the residence halls 24 hours after your last final examination<br />

or by 5:00 p.m. on the last day of finals, whichever is first.<br />

What must I do <strong>to</strong> check out for winter closing<br />

While you are not required <strong>to</strong> remove all of your belongings from your room during winter<br />

closing, you are strongly encouraged <strong>to</strong> take all valuables with you when you leave. The<br />

<strong>University</strong> is not responsible for any lost, s<strong>to</strong>len or damaged property. You should also<br />

remember <strong>to</strong> take all belongings that you may need while you are away, since you will not<br />

be permitted <strong>to</strong> re-enter the building after you have checked out. Residents must also unplug<br />

all appliances and close and lock all windows and doors. Once you have done this, you<br />

should present your keys <strong>to</strong> your RA. Handing in your keys does not absolve you from the<br />

responsibilities outlined in your Residence Hall Agreement, which is binding for the period<br />

of one academic year. Failure <strong>to</strong> properly check out during winter closing may result in<br />

disciplinary action and/or improper checkout fees.
