Fall / Thanksgiving Break
Students do not have to turn in keys during Thanksgiving Break. Dining will be limited; please visit Dining's website for hours.
Winter Break
Unless residents have applied for winter break housing through their StarRez portal, all those in the residence halls must turn in their keys before leaving for break. Belongings can remain in the room, and residents are able to pick up their keys again when they return in January, as long as they are registered for Spring classes.
Winter Break housing is an additional fee of up to $500 for the entire break.
Utilize checkout dropboxes in the La Plata lobby for Alpine Village and the Alpine Apartments and the Monarch lobby for Summit Village to return your keys.
After all keys are returned, RAs will conduct room checks to ensure the above were followed. They'll also document any damages to the suites. Residents will be charged for materials and labor to repair any damage.
The Alpine Apartments remain open during winter break. There is no fee to stay over the break. Apartment residents will only be asked to turn in their keys if they aren't registered for Spring courses by the end of the Fall semester.
Spring Break
All residence halls will be open during Spring break and residents do not have to turn in their keys. Dining will be limited; please review their website for hours.
