Important Housing Information

  •  Winter Break Housing Requests

    Monday, Nov. 9, 2009 2:24 PM

    We will be able to offer limited housing over the winter break period. Only international students with travel restrictions and intercollegiate athletes whose sport will be competing during the break period are eligible to apply for break housing; however, eligibility does not guarantee approval. Given space constraints, only a limited number of students will be approved for Winter break housing. Housing over the winter break period will cost $215.00 per week. All students who will be staying over the break period will be housed with roommates in St. Clare hall. All other residence halls will be closed. Residents of St. Clare hall must still apply and be approved to stay over the break period and will be responsible for all charges. Because space is limited, only those students who fill out a form on-time will be considered. The Winter Break Housing applications must be turned in to your Resident Director by 5 pm on Friday, November 20th.
