Late Stay or Winter Break Housing
If you need to stay in the residence halls over winter break (7:00 p.m., December 8, 2023, to January 5, 2024), please submit a request on My Housing to be considered—please note there is a charge of $980 to stay over for winter break. (Charge does not apply to residents of the New Apartment-Style Hall.)
Keys and Move-out
Students who are returning to the residence halls for winter term will keep their keys with them over winter break. Students who are checking out of the residence halls at the end of fall term need to return their room and mail box keys to the service center before leaving for winter break. There is a $75 fee for keys not returned, $65 for a lock change on the room, and $10 for a replacement mail box key. Students who decide to not return to campus for winter term but did not check out before leaving for winter break will need to return to campus to remove their items and return their keys. Keys will not be accepted through the mail and items are not able to be shipped to students.

New Roommates May Move In
Rooms with vacancies may be entered to prepare the space for a new resident. Please be sure that your belongings are not on the side of the room the new resident will be using. In the event that you come back from break and find a new roommate living in your room, we hope that you will extend them a warm UO welcome and provide them equitable space to share the room.
Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance may be completed during break. This includes checking smoke detectors, door locks, heaters, and other projects. This will require University Housing staff to be in the rooms. If you have any questions or concerns, please visit or call your University Housing service center.
Winter Break Fees
Since the halls close over winter break, there is an additional fee of $980 for students who stay on campus and are unable to vacate during this time. (Charge does not apply to residents of the New Apartment-Style Hall.) Remaining students may be moved into temporary rooms to allow for better campus safety during this period of low occupancy. There is a $35 daily fee for any student checking out of the residence halls late (after Friday, December 8, at 7:00 p.m.)
