Campus will be closed over winter break, but there are options for students who wish to remain on campus.

During break, most residence halls close, but some remain open for a price. Spicer Hall, Bulger Hall, Exchange Street Apartments, Quaker Square, Grant and the townhouses will remain open. Prices are $24 a night ($624 for the entire break) for most residence halls. Exchange Street Apartments run $32 a night ($832 for the entire break). Costs that are not paid ahead of time will be added to the student’s university account.

Students interested in accommodations must register online at www.uakron.edu/reslife. The form can be found by selecting the “News You Can Use” link on the left and then selecting the “Winter Break Housing Online Request Form.”  Registration is due by 5 p.m. on Dec. 11.  Only students who are registered to stay in the residence halls will receive their campus mail and have access to their building after 5 p.m. Dec. 11 or during break.

The University will be closed campus-wide Dec. 20 and won’t open up until Jan. 7 at 11:55 p.m. All grade changes and incomplete/make-up work are due Dec. 13 and will not be accepted after 5 p.m. on that day. Spring semester classes will begin Jan. 9.
