Residence halls will officially close for fall break on Friday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. They will reopen on Tuesday, Oct. 19, at noon.
Residents are required to complete a break checkout form in eRezLife prior to leaving campus. The form will be open Friday, Oct. 8.
As a safety measure, Campus Safety routinely checks all units in the residence halls and apartments during periods when school is not in session. Occupancy of any campus housing during breaks without authorization may result in a fine and/or loss of campus housing.
Residence hall staff will check student rooms during break periods to ensure that no safety hazards exist. If a staff member should notice evidence of a violation of federal, state, or local laws, or a violation of university policies or procedures, the staff member can confiscate items in question and will file a report with the Office of Residence Life.
Due to health concerns, all students should clean their room before leaving for break (i.e., remove trash, food, etc.). Failure to do so may result in a $35 fine.
You do not need to unplug your refrigerator for this break. If you choose to do so, please make sure the door of the refrigerator is left open and the refrigerator is defrosted and dry.
If a student needs to remain on campus for fall break, they must contact the Office of Residence Life at reslife@smumn.edu for the break housing request form. This form needs to be completed by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 14.
If a student remains on campus for fall break, food service will not be available. The cafeteria will close at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 15, and the Cardinal Club will close at 5 p.m. on the same date. Food service will reopen on Tuesday, Oct. 19, for dinner.
