Winter Closure Begins Dec. 20 at 12 PM

Winter Closure will take place December 20, 2024 at 12 noon through January 12, 2025, at 12 noon. If you did not select to live in Winter Break Housing on your housing application, you must vacate your building within 24 hours after your last exam.*

The dorms will remain open during and after Thanksgiving. 

While you can leave your stuff (including your bike!) in your room if you are coming back for the spring 2025 semester, you will not be able to get into your room during winter break. Please plan accordingly and pack any clothing, valuables, medications, personal care items, jewelry, etc. you may need during this time. Don't forget your CatCard; you'll need it to check-in at your dorm's front desk when you return in January.

Attend your upcoming wing meetings for more information about closing procedures. If you have specific questions, please talk to your RA and review the Winter Closing information.

NOTE: Mail is not delivered to the dorms during Winter Break (except to the Winter Break Housing dorms). Any mail received during this time is held and delivered when the buildings reopen in January. Carriers can start delivering to all dorms on January 12; sorting and distribution to the dorms should occur by January 13-14.

*If you need more time for academic purposes, you must email your request to your Community Director by Wednesday, December 11. If your plans have changed and you are in need of Winter Break Housing, please contact Housing Assignment Services at housing@arizona.edu or (520) 621-6501.

If you are not returning to campus housing in January, please review the move-out information at housing.arizona.edu/winter.
