Semester Break*

Residents must have approval from the Residential Life Office if they wish to remain in campus housing during any part of the official semester break. The College reserves the right to deny any Resident permission to remain in their housing during semester break. In addition, all policies must be followed or the privilege of staying on campus during the semester break may be revoked; requeststo stay in college housing during the semester break are permitted on a very LIMITED basis.

Recently found out you need to arrive early to campus during the semester break? You must complete a  Semester Break Request.

The entire College of Saint Benedict campus will be closed from December 24th, 2012 through January 1st, 2013 (reopening January 2nd). In an effort to be good stewards of our resources, the college is using this time to reduce utility usage, which will result in cost and energy savings. All campus offices and departments will be closed and ID access will be turned off for all residents, faculty and staff.

Storage

Do you need to drop off items in storage before semester break?

Corona Storage:  Up to three (3) items (computer, television, mini-fridge, DVD player, etc.) for any one student.

Aurora Storage: Up to five (5) boxes (trunks, lockers, suitcases) for any one student. The boxes must be 21" x 17" x 17" or smaller.  Boxes any larger than this are too large for the storage shelves.

End of Academic Year**

Students are required to check out of their residence halls, campus house or apartment within 24 hours of their last final (or last due date for final projects). We ask that students who are finished with their academic work leave so as to allow the remaining students, still studying for finals and students on final projects the best environment possible to complete their work. All campus residence areas (apartments, houses and residence halls) close at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 11th. Students who are graduating on Saturday, May 12th and those moving to summer housing will be permitted to remain past this time provided they complete the required late stay request.
