Students preferring to live on campus during winter break may submit an application to the Department of Residence Services by Nov. 16.
Twin Towers East and West will be open for students who need to stay on campus for work, athletics, academics or for those who are a long distance from home.
Le’Kesha Glover, assistant director of residence services, said students have a couple options.
“If they don’t know anyone in Towers they want to stay with we can put them in a single room,” Glover said.
Students have the option of living with a resident of either dorm or they may stay in an available single room.
“We will have staff on duty,” Glover said. “There will be two resident advisors in both dorms, one resident director and the front desk security will be as it normally is.”
While housing during the fall and spring breaks has not change, a daily charge is billed to students’ accounts for winter break housing. Glover said the cost has yet to be determined.
The cafeterias will be open on select days. Cheryl King, general manager of Sodexo, said the schedule for these openings has not yet been determined. She said lunch will be approximately $9.25 and dinner will be approximately $10.50.
Applications for break housing must be turned in to Residence Life Specialist Tracey Eggleston.
Closing procedure instructions will be distributed in the residence halls in the coming weeks. Past procedures for winter break include locking all windows, closing the blinds, moving objects away from the heater, unplugging all items and making sure the door is locked.
These procedures will also be explained in detail by resident advisors in mandatory floor meetings on each floor of the residence halls.
According to the residence services Web site, the Department of Residence Services assumes no responsibility for items left in the residence halls and residents are encouraged to take valuables home.
