Although halls are open (with limited support services) for Thanksgiving Break, students with legitimate circumstances who wish to remain on campus for all or part of the break must register to stay. Please note: campus dining (dining hall, Jack’s Place, and Jazzman’s) is closed during the Thanksgiving Break; in other words, there is no meal plan service during this time.  Break housing residents are permitted to have only break housing residents as guests in their rooms and buildings; they may not have any overnight guests.  

To register to be on campus during all or part of Thanksgiving Break, please complete and submit the THANKSGIVING BREAK REGISTRATION FORM before 12noon on Tuesday, November 24th.
