2024-2025 Fall Break Information
The following information will help you prepare for Fall break. More information will be added as it becomes available. If you have questions that are not addressed here, please contact our office.
General information
Fall break begins Saturday, November 23, and lasts until Sunday, December 1. The residence halls are open and students are permitted to remain on campus during this time. As always, please lock your room door when you are away from your room (even if you just run down to the bathroom), carry your keys at all times, and do not prop exterior doors for any reason.
RAs are scheduled to be on duty over the break; however, there will be reduced staffing in the RA offices. If you need to check anything out from the RA office (cooking equipment, games, videos, etc.) or you need access to storage, please do so by Friday, November 22 at the latest. Campus Safety is not permitted to check out hall equipment or give students access to storage.
Checklist for students leaving for the break
If you are leaving for break, we encourage you to:
- Turn off and unplug appliances (refrigerators and aquariums may remain plugged in)
- Remove all trash from your room and take it to a common area trash can in your building
- Close and lock all windows (pipes could freeze and burst if windows are left open)
- Close blinds
- Turn off alarm clock
- Turn off lights
- Lock your door
-
Leave thermostats on
Repair work
During break periods (including official College holidays), Facility Services staff may be doing necessary maintenance, deep cleaning and/or renovations to common areas. At times, this work may require altering normal traffic flow (like periodically closing certain entrances or stairwells). At other times, this work may require entering student rooms. Every effort will be made to notify students in advance (through e-mails or through signs posted in the buildings). However, advanced notice may not be possible in every situation. Please contact us if you have questions or concerns.
Meal plans for the Spring semester
As a reminder, students can opt to change their meal plan for the Spring semester. Refer to dining services web pages on selecting or changing a meal plan for details.
