Winter Break
Hall Information
During the winter break period, students will be required to transition into new temporary assignments if their hall is not open during the break period. Winter break housing will be available in most West Green halls as well as River Park, River Gate, River's Edge, and Skyview. Students in all other halls will be required to temporarily relocate to an open hall on West Green.
To ensure spaces are cleaned prior to students arriving for the spring semester, winter break residents who will be residing on campus for spring 2025 will be transitioned to their permanent spring assignment on Tuesday, January 7.
If a student staying over the break period needs to relocate to a temporary housing assignment, the new assignment and check-in instructions will be communicated by Wednesday, December 11 to their OHIO email account.
