Break Housing Resources

Staying over Thanksgiving, Winter or Spring Break and Need Assistance?

We still have staff available to help you during your stay.

Blair-Shannon, Freddy, Wells, and Woods are closed for Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Breaks.

For our buildings staying open - Sunvilla, Monroe, Hammons, Heitz, Hutchens, Kentwood and Scholars - if your desk is not staffed a sign will direct you to the location or number of the closest open front desk. Our on-campus residence halls and apartments have RAs, Graduate Assistants, and Hall Directors serving in an on-call rotation, who can be reached during break. Please visit or contact your front desk for on-call staff assistance.
