Winter Break Housing

Available Dates

The Residence Halls close at Noon on Saturday, December 16, 2023, and reopen for Spring Semester at 9:00 am on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. Housing is available during the Winter Break to residents living in the Residence Halls for Fall and/or Spring Semester. 

  • New students coming to campus for Spring Semester will not be able to submit a housing request for Winter Break Housing until November 30, 2023. Housing is available for new spring students starting December 29, 2023.
  • Fall residents not returning for Spring Semester may only stay until December 21, 2023.
  • Fall residents returning for Spring Semester may stay the whole break, stay just at the beginning of break, or return early for spring. All types of stays must be requested by submitting a Winter Break Housing Application. Residents need to request Winter Break housing three business days prior to the first date housing is needed. 
  • Fall residents requesting to extend their stay past December 16th or stay for the whole break must submit their Winter Break Housing Application by 5:00 pm on December 8, 2023, to avoid a $40 late arrangement fee and possibly being locked out after the halls close on December 16th.
  • New and current residents assigned to Craig, Elrod, or Duniway Hall will not be able to stay in their assigned room until we officially open on January 16th 2024. If residents of CDE require winter break housing please submit a winter break housing application by November 30th, so temporary accommodations can be made. 

Outdoor Access

Griz Card access expires at Noon on Saturday, December 16th for residents living on campus Fall Semester. Access for Spring Semester will be activated when the halls officially open on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.

Rates

Winter Break Housing charges will be assessed on a resident’s student account during the first week of Spring Semester. Rates are based upon the total number of nights requested. Charges will also be assessed if a resident does not request housing but it is determined that the resident accessed the residence hall between Noon on Saturday, December 16th and 9:00 am on January 16, 2024.
