- Students are expected to depart from the 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.
- Students should not return to campus under any circumstances once they have checked out for the semester. Students violating this will be referred through the Student Conduct process and could be removed from on-campus housing or suspended from the University.
Regardless of your checkout date, these items must be completed before your departure:
- Remove and dispose of all perishable food items from your refrigerator and cabinets into the trash rooms.
- Unplug all electronic items except refrigerators.
- Submit any work orders that you are aware of for your room (Agora Portal → Other Services → Facilities Work Ticket).
- Turn heat to 65 degrees or the “low” setting (where applicable), turn off all lights, and close/lock windows.
- Take all valuables with you, including medication, passports, etc. as you will not be able to retrieve them after you depart.
- Bring any textbooks or other items you will need for final exams home with you.
The Residence Halls will be closed for winter break starting December 19th. Students looking for Off-Campus housing over winter break can contact Off-Campus Student Life through the Dean of Students Office. In many cases, BC students are looking to sublet apartments during winter break, and can be emailed at offcampus@bc.edu.
Piece by Piece offers students the opportunity to store their items if you are not returning for spring semester.
