Break Stay Application

PLANNING TO STAY ON CAMPUS OVER BREAK?

The Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 Break Stay Request Form will close in the Housing Portal on Wednesday, December 3. 

Conditions of Break Stay include:

  • Break Stay Housing is not free, nor is it already paid for in the Housing Agreement. The cost is based on the style of housing you live in. For break stay rates, click here. This does not apply to Greek Village.
  • Only residents with housing accounts in good standing are eligible (October 20 is the due date for Fall housing). ÊÖ»ú¿´Æ¬ with fall semester balances due are not eligible for Break Stay Housing.
  • Residents eligible to request Break Stay Housing must complete the Break Stay Request form in the before 4 p.m. on Wednesday, December 3.
  • Due to the terms of their agreement:
    • Greek Village residents are charged for and have access to their regular assignment through the break unless they meet the cancellation criteria, in which case they must move out by December 12 at noon.
  • We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate any requests submitted after the deadline. 

NOTICE OF ENTRY:
From December 12- January 9 housekeeping and maintenance techs will be knocking on doors and then entering rooms starting at 8 a.m. to clean and/or complete repairs as needed. Residential Education staff will also be completing Fire, Health & Safety Inspections. Because this transition occurs during a limited break/holiday period, we will not be able to postpone entry. Staff will be wearing appropriate IDs. We appreciate everyone's cooperation and support as we seek to prepare our residence halls for our returning residents and for new residents arriving for the spring semester.

RAs on Duty:
All residence halls that are open for students with break-stay housing will have RA's on duty over winter break. For assistance, please look for the signage posted in your building with the RA on-duty phone number listed.
