Winter Break Information

All residence halls close over Winter Break. Students must vacate their housing assignment 24 hours after their last final or by noon on Sat. Dec. 21, 2024 (whichever is first). Halls reopen at 8am on Sun. Jan. 12, 2025. Housing over break is generally not available. In special circumstances, housing can be permitted. If students need housing, they should email Daniel.Sepion@mail.wvu.edu by Fri. Dec. 13 (5pm) to discuss their needs. Requests after Dec. 13 will incur a $25 late fee, if approved.

Before leaving for break, students must complete the break checklist posted on their doors. All rooms will be entered to check for policy violations, for health and safety checks, to ensure the checklist has been completed, and to complete routine maintenance. Fines will be issued for noncompliance and violations will be noted. Checklists must remain posted on doors.
