Students should be aware that they will need to vacate their housing during the December/January holiday period and at the conclusion of the Spring term in May.

Students participating in a J-Term program may resume their housing between the end of the J-Term and the beginning of the spring semester. Any exceptions to this policy will entail an additional housing cost for the student. Any student who would like to stay in a housing outside of the published academic calendar must contact the Student Life Team within one month of beginning their program.
