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.
