WINTER BREAK DECEMBER 11 - JANUARY 9

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Housing and Residence Life closes at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, December 11, 2019. Residents who have not received approval to stay late or stay during winter break must leave 24 hours after their last final or by 6 p.m. on December 11, whichever comes first. Students not returning for the spring 2020 semester need to complete a contract cancellation form as well as follow the proper check out procedures.

WEDNESDAY FINALS

If you have a final on Wednesday, December 11, 2019, that starts at noon or after, you can wait to leave for winter break by noon on Thursday, December 12, 2019. However, you must submit the online stay late request form. Request deadline is December 6, 2019.

All requests are subject to approval.

RETURNING STUDENTS

Students who are living in housing in the fall 2019 and are returning for spring 2020, do not need to move their belongings; they only need to leave by 6 p.m. on December 11 and may return on or after January 10, 2020. It is recommended that residents not leave valuables in their apartments or residence halls during winter break. The USI campus including the Housing and Residence Life office will be closed (December 24, 2019 through January 1, 2020) and there will be limited University staff available.

NOTE: Residents with permanent residences in Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, Henderson (KY), White (IL), or Gallatin (IL) counties are not eligible to stay after the December 11, 2019, deadline.
