Break Housing

Break housing

Residents may stay in their assigned room or apartment during breaks, including:

  • Thanksgiving Break
  • Winter Break
  • Spring Break

Staying on campus during break is free of charge, but residents must register online if they intend to access their assigned space during any portion of the break. Residents of our unfurnished apartments at 3rd & Union, Campus View, Tulip Tree, and University East do not need to register.

Even if the plan is to leave for a portion of the break, we recommend residents request access for the entire break period. Residents who leave and return to campus for IU athletic events or another reason must register to have access to their building.

Registering ensures residents will have proper access to their assigned space and common areas during the break.

Residents may return to the reservation form as many times as necessary to make changes. Questions or concerns? Contact us.

Residents staying are expected to comply with all university policies, and residence hall rules. Overnight guests are NOT allowed. To maintain the safety and security of residents and the buildings, doors are NOT to be propped open for anyone for any reason.
