Winter Break Housing

Registration on MyUSAHousing opens: November 8, 2024, at 9 AM

Fall residents whose Winter Break plans include remaining on campus or gaining access to their room at any time during the break MUST register for Break Housing by December 1, 2024, @ 11:59 PM to ensure they have access to their residence hall room throughout the Winter Break Housing period and avoid a late registration fee.

Students can register online in their MyUSAHousing portal under the 'Requests' menu.

Card access will cut off at 12:00 PM (noon) on the last day of final exams (Friday, December 13). All residence halls will remain open for residents who have completed Winter Break registration.

There is no charge ($0.00) to remain on campus in your room during the Winter Break as long as your Break Housing registration is completed prior to the deadline (December 1, 2024 @ 11:59 PM) and you remain enrolled for Spring 2025 semester.

All Break Housing requests received AFTER December 1 will be subject to a late registration charge of $100.00. Any applicable charges will be assessed to the student's account (PAWS) after Winter Break.

Any cancellations of the Academic Year 2024-2025 housing contract during the Winter break period or Spring 2025 will subject the student to a $20 per night charge equal to the number of nights of occupancy of Winter Break (not applicable to December graduating students).

• If you withdraw from Spring Semester 2025 classes and/or cancel your Academic Year 2024-2025 housing contract, you will no longer be eligible to remain on campus during the Winter Break Housing period and should be prepared to check-out properly in person, at your Community Office within 48 hours following your withdrawal OR by Friday, December 13, 2024, at 12 PM (noon) —whichever is later— to avoid additional charges.
• Residents do not need to remove their belongings for Winter Break.
