The Residence Life Office wishes you success on your mid-term exams, and wish everyone a joyous Spring 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 Saturday, March 12th by 10:00am. Campus housing will close on the morning of March 12 at 10:00am. Campus housing reopens on March 20th.
- Any students that NEED to remain on campus past Saturday, March 12th must submit a Vacation Housing Request Form to Residence Life through Knight Life no later than March 10 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.
Closing Procedures
Your Resident Advisor will be delivering a Spring Break Closing Form to each room. This form needs 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 comply with this and the following process will result in a $50.00 charge.
- Clean your room/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 65 degrees
- Keep your cabinet doors under the sink in the bathroom and kitchen open to allow warm air to circulate
- Leave your bedroom doors open, 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, be mindful that the dining facilities will not be operating for meal plan use during break.
Facilities & Services
Facilities and 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.
Fire Safety Inspection
The Residence Life Staff will be doing fire safety inspections of rooms during the break. Your residence will be inspected upon departure for any maintenance or damage concerns. Any theft/loss/damage is the responsibility of the assigned room residents.
Enjoy your break!
Sincerely,
Residence Life Staff
