Timeline
Students are expected to depart from your residence hall 24 hours after your last final exam, or by 5pm on Thursday, December 19, whichever comes first.
Students are able to apply for a one-night extension until 11am on Friday, December 20 for travel-related reasons. Students will be able to apply for an extension starting on November 1, and will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
