Processes in Residence Life & Housing that are coming soon or are open now

We know some students like to plan ahead! Residence halls will close at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 22, for Thanksgiving Break, and will reopen on Sunday, December 1, at noon. Students will have the option to apply for a late stay or full-break access. Check back for more information in mid-October.

The returning student housing application for the 2025-2026 academic year is expected to open in the first week of the Spring 2025 semester. While housing is not automatically guaranteed for returning students, we hope to be able to house all students who apply by the posted deadline. Additional information about the application and assignment process will be posted to our website closer to that time, but basic questions about returning student housing can be found on our Current Students page.
