Greetings Residents!
The Residence Life Office wishes you success on your mid-term exams, and wish everyone a joyous Thanksgiving Break. Here are some important points to keep in mind as you prepare to vacate campus housing:
Residents must vacate their residence hall rooms on Wednesday, November 21 at 8:00am. Campus housing reopens on November 25 at 8:00am.
Any students that NEED to remain on campus passed Wednesday, November 21 at 8:00am need to submit a Vacation Housing Request Form through signing into Knight Life and searching the Residence Life organization by November 14 at 4:30pm. The Residence Life Office has the right to approve or deny vacation housing to any student depending on reasoning for vacation housing. Should any student have a need to return early from Thanksgiving Break break please submit an Early Arrival Form through Knight Life by signing in and searching the Residence Life organization by November 18 at 4:30pm. Students who do not complete these forms who are found on campus will be charged $50.00 per night for unauthorized vacation housing. Please find the Vacation Housing Request Form and Early Arrival Form below:

CLOSING PROCEDURES
Your Resident Advisor will be delivering a Thanksgiving Break Closing Form to each room. This form should be filled out and either delivered to the RA or left in a common space (kitchen table for apartments) for the RA to collect while closing the residence hall. Failure to close your room properly will result in a $50.00 fine.
- Please clean your apartment and remove ALL trash.
- Turn off lights, computers, and unplug nonessential appliances.
- Close your drapes and lock your windows.
- Lock your door when leaving.
- Set your thermostats to 70 degrees and keep your cabinet doors under the sink in the bathroom and kitchen open to allow warm air to circulate. Please leave your bedroom doors open (apartments only). This will help keep the water pipes from freezing.
- Park your vehicle in the Hamlin-Powers parking lot if you are leaving your vehicle on campus.
- Be mindful about packing your vehicles the night before. It can be an invitation to thieves!
MEAL PLAN
If you are approved for vacation housing please be mindful that the dining facilities will not be operating for meal plan use during this time.
FACILITIES & SERVICES may be in your dorm to address work orders and other maintenance issues while you are away. Third-party contractors that we may hire to assist will be accompanied by Clarkson University staff at all times.
GUEST POLICY
Guests and/or visitors are not permitted during breaks during the academic year.
FIRE SAFETY INSPECTION
The Residence Life Staff will be doing fire safety inspections of rooms during the break.
Any theft/loss/damage is the responsibility of the assigned room residents.
Your residence will be inspected upon departure for any maintenance or damage concerns.
Have a great break!
