Winter Break Housing – 2023/2024

University Housing provides students with the option to remain in campus housing during the intersession period between the end of the fall semester and the start of the spring semester. Residents who need to remain on campus for any length of time between Dec. 17, 2023 and Jan. 4, 2024 must request Winter Break Housing. This includes residents who are currently residing in residence halls, Wolf Village, Wolf Ridge and ES King Buildings A, B, C, D and O. Residents of other buildings at ES King Village or residents of Western Manor Apartments are not required to request break housing and are exempt from additional charges for remaining during the break, unless they will not be continuing in their same location for the spring semester.

The deadline to submit winter break housing requests is December 4 at 5 p.m.

Eligibility for Winter Break Housing

Students currently in housing and who will remain in University Housing facilities for the spring semester are eligible.

Students currently in housing and who will be enrolled in the spring semester, but do not plan to live in University Housing facilities for the spring semester, are eligible but must check out by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 2.

Costs

The cost for Winter Break Housing in 2023-24 is $270 and covers the period between the end of the fall semester and the start of the spring semester. Pre-approval for Winter Break Housing and the break housing charge is required for all residents staying for the break, including residents in Wolf Ridge, Wolf Village and the A, B, C, D and O Buildings of E.S.
