BE SAFE BOBCATS

Get Vaccinated
The sooner more of us are vaccinated, the sooner we can get back to normal. The University is pausing the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine (opens in a new window) out of an abundance of caution. Students who will now receive the Pfizer vaccine, which requires two doses, should refer to University guidance (opens in a new window) on options for securing a second dose. Sign up (opens in a new window)

STAY INFORMED

HOUSING & RESIDENCE LIFE

Spring Semester Checkout
Housing closes on April 30 at 8 p.m. Campus residents are encouraged to move out within 24 hours of their last exam, but no later than 8 p.m. This helps ensure students who are still studying aren’t distracted. Convocation Center and South Green residents are encouraged to check out prior to Friday due to traffic, security details, and congestion created during commencement. A form is available on myhousing (opens in a new window) for a one-night extension through May 2.  

CAMPUS DINING & SHOPPING

Don't Forget Your Bobcat Cash
The semester is coming to an end, but your Bobcat Cash account balance will automatically carry over to each new semester and academic year without any further action from you. You can add to your account balance at any time, and can authorize others to contribute to it as well. Check for remaining balances following departure or graduation online.
