Vacation Breaks

The college provides limited residence hall monitoring and food service during Labor Day and Easter breaks. However, residence halls will be closed during Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break. Alma Gatewood will be closed over Spring Break. Ferndale and Hoggatt Halls will be open over Spring Break for Ferndale and Hoggatt residents and their guests. To enter the halls and stay overnight, all guests must be accompanied by their host(s). When the halls close, residents must vacate the residence hall no later than the announced closing time and return no earlier than the announced opening time. International students or students living more than 500 miles in distance from the campus needing assistance in securing local housing during the breaks must submit a written request at least one week in advance to the Residence Life Office. The college will aid these residents in finding housing accommodations during these break periods but cannot guarantee housing.
