Residence halls close for Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring breaks. During breaks, students do not need to move out their items, but are encouraged to take any important personal items with them including medication and valuables.
Residence halls typically close at 6 p.m. on the last day of classes or exams before breaks and reopen at noon the day before classes resume. Students who have not requested and been approved for break housing are required to vacate their residences between these times.
Residence halls do remain open for the Fall Academic Holiday, usually held in October.
Students who require an accommodation due to late departure or early return must complete the break housing request form available through the housing portal by the deadline listed on their housing portal. There are generally no additional costs or fees for approved break housing requests. Students who remain on campus without approval will be charged housing for a given session or a daily fee.
Approval for late stay or early arrival may be considered, but is not guaranteed, for the following reasons:
Students remaining on campus during a break should remember that campus dining options are typically closed throughout breaks. College offices may also be closed or open on special schedules. Students requiring assistance or experiencing emergencies during a break should contact Campus Safety, which is available 24/7, at 864-597-4911.
All students on campus during a break continue to be bound by the rules and policies of Wofford College, failure to abide by these may result in immediate loss of break housing among other sanctions.
