Academic Break Times

* Residence Halls will be closed for Thanksgiving Break. No Residence Hall break housing will be offered.
* Residence Halls will be closed for Winter Break. No Residence Hall break housing will be offered. Note: Students are not required to move belongings out of their Residence Hall room if they are returning for the second semester. However, residents should take all items that will be needed during the break since no one will have access to their Residence Hall room during the semester break.
* Residence Halls will be closed for Spring break. No Residence Hall break housing will be offered.

THV and OCH communities do not close for academic breaks. For security purposes, THV/OCH Residents staying over breaks (Fall break, Thanksgiving break, Winter break, and Spring break) must register in the Office of Residence Life.

Health and Safety inspections will be done at every closing and during scheduled Health and Safety inspections. Staff will post signs 24 hours prior to starting inspections. For more information about Health and Safety inspections please contact the Office of Residence Life.

Break Housing (Academic Year)

Residents living in Residence Halls are not allowed to stay in these buildings over Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Spring break and should seek alternative living arrangements. Residents Halls remain open for Fall break and Easter break. Residents living in Corcoran, McGee, or XL staying over Fall break must register with the Office of Residence Life.

Residents living in THV/OCH residences may stay over breaks but are required to register with the Office of Residence Life for security purposes prior to the beginning of each break. Please contact Brenda Laney at (816) 501-4663 with questions.
