All residence halls close for identified breaks implemented into the academic semester (I.e. Thanksgiving and spring). During these designated break periods, students are required to leave campus and are not permitted access to remain in the residence halls unless prearranged break housing arrangements have been made with the Office of Housing and Residence Life. During Academic Year breaks students do not need to remove all of their personal belongings from their rooms. Removal of all belongings occurs only at the end of the Academic Year in the spring during move-out.

Break Housing
There are options available for students needing housing during the University's break periods. Break housing is offered in Studebaker East Hall when the residence halls are closed. This is based on availability and students are subject to additional charges for each break period ($30/day). Students needing temporary housing for a break period are required to indicate this to the Office of Housing and Residence Life. Please email our office at housing@bsu.edu for more information on how to secure break housing accommodations.
