Thanksgiving Break Information for Students in Residence Halls

Thanksgiving Break begins at the conclusion of your class on Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Those students who need to stay on campus due to off campus employment, internships/student teaching, and college commitments or cannot go home due to distance, are welcome to stay in the residence halls over Thanksgiving Break.  We strongly encourage all students who are able to travel home for the break to take advantage of the opportunity for time away.  This is an excellent opportunity to re-charge following midterm exams and return refreshed for the second half of the semester.

The residence halls will remain locked 24 hours a day. Only those students who are residents of a specific hall will have key card access. No overnight guests are allowed in the halls over the break. No guests should be in the residence hall after 2:00 a.m. Residence Life and Campus Safety staff will conduct regular rounds throughout the halls. Any violation of college policy (alcohol/drug, intervisitation, vandalism, etc.) will be taken very seriously and may result in immediate suspension from the residence halls.

Our regular key card system resumes at noon on Sunday, November 25, 2012.  If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact your Hall Director or the Residence Life Office.
