Winter Session Housing

To remain in the residence halls during Winter Session, students are required to register for at least one Winter Session course OR have approval to participate in a University activity. Students residing in on-campus residence halls will be billed a $500 housing fee for Winter Session regardless of the type of room or area of campus.

Residents of the Christiana Towers are not required to register for Winter Session courses to remain in their apartment nor are they charged a separate Winter Session housing fee.  The Christiana Towers Apartments are viewed as a continuous 9-month residence hall instead of a semester based traditional residence hall.  Beginning Fall 2010, the annual apartment rates will be adjusted accordingly based on the occupancy time period.

Students who will not be staying in the residence halls during Winter Session will not be charged the Winter Session housing fee. Students living in the residence halls during Winter Session for 4-5 weeks pay the full $500 Winter Session housing fee; students staying in the residence halls for 1-3 weeks pay $250; students staying in the residence halls for less than one week will pay $30 per day. Residents of halls other than apartments must purchase one of the full meal plans (see Dining Plans). Students living in Conover Apartments or the Graduate House will pay the designated monthly charge.

Winter Session Activities

Students who receive approval to remain in the residence halls without being registered for a Winter Session credit course must be aware of the following:

  • A dining plan is required for all students living in the residence halls during Winter Session. The cost of a Winter Session Dining Plan is $622. If a student does not submit a dining plan request, (s)he will automatically be billed for the default meal plan - 10 meals per week and $90 in points.

  • The Winter Session Health fee is optional. Students who wish to sign up for the $64 Winter Session Health fee, must check the appropriate box on the Winter Session Activities Registration form. Students also have the option to register for this service if/when it is needed. For additional information about Student Health Service charges and fees visit the Student Health Service Web site.
  • An exception is being made when a student is permitted to live in the residence halls during Winter Session without being registered for a credit course. As a part of a community, you are expected to abide by all student policies and procedures stated in the Student Guide to University Policies. These students may be required to leave the residence hall immediately if here is a policy violation.
