Some resources for students and parents as we approach Winter Break!

With the halls closing for Winter Break on December 20th at 10 AM, Housing and Residence Life wants to provide some resources to our parents and students who will be experiencing the first long break of the academic year.

Students and their families have changed and grown since Move-In Day in August and it’s important to recognize that expectations may have changed.

Here are some useful articles to help our Pirates and Pirate families navigate Winter Break –

Coming Back from Abroad? Want to move on campus for Spring 2018?

We hope you had a great Fall Semester wherever you were! HRL has vacancies available for Spring 2018 and is happy to accommodate you in one of our spaces on campus.

Whether you’re returning from abroad, transferring to SHU, or just changed your mind about commuting, we have housing for you!

To apply, pay the new student housing deposit and complete a Housing Application Roommate Survey on your Housing Profile on PirateNet.

We’ll be working throughout the month of December and into January to make assignments for new residents. Once we assign you, we’ll give you a call or send you an email.

The residence halls will open at 2pm on Monday, January 15th.

Spend your Summer in Sunny South Orange – Summer Housing Applications Now Available!

If you’re taking summer classes or have a University-affiliated job or internship, you’re welcome to sign up for Summer Housing.

Summer Housing will be assigned in South Boland Hall this year.  Students who wish to apply for summer housing may do so through the Summer Housing Application under the applications tab on their Housing Profile on PirateNet. There is no housing deposit required.

Summer room assignments are made “hotel style” meaning that room assignments will be made at the time of check in. Students wishing to be roommates should plan to check in together.

Sign up for Easter Break Housing

Residence Halls will close at 10am on Thursday, April 13th for Easter
Break and will reopen on Monday, April 17th at 2pm
.  For those students who will not be leaving for Easter Break due to work obligations, athletic competitions, or the distance being too far, Boland, Xavier, Ora, and Turrell are available for break housing.

Students who need break housing must apply for break housing through the application in their housing profile which will be available March 20th – March 27th. If you do not live in Boland, Xavier, Turrell, or Ora, you must find a friend who will allow you to use their room during break.   Approvals for break housing will be sent via email by March 28th.

If you’re staying in a friend’s room for the break, it is your responsibility to get their key from them before they leave for break. Remember: break housing is a privilege and you are responsible for any damage or theft that occurs from your break housing room during the duration of your stay.

Please keep in mind that SHUFly Shuttle and SAFERide will not operate during break and that campus dining options will be limited. We will also experience a power plant shut down on Thursday, April 13th for most of the day so the campus residence halls will have no electricity besides emergency lighting.

If you are leaving for Easter break, please unplug everything, close your window shades, remember to pack everything you’ll need for the break (including medications and homework materials), and plan to be out of your room no later than 10am on Thursday, April 13th.  We look forward to welcoming you back to campus on Monday, April 17th at 2pm.

Wishing you a relaxing and safe Easter Break!
