Permission to stay late/return early will not be considered for students who have previously violated the Residence Contract.

Students not returning to Residence for the winter term are not eligible to extend their stay beyond December 19, 2022 as rooms need to be checked and cleaned for incoming winter term students.

Students returning for the winter term and not staying over the closure may leave their belongings in their room. Students are reminded to pack all valuables and items needed while away as there will be no access to the buildings, floors, and rooms during the closure.
