Break Housing

Winter Break Housing

Not staying for Winter Break, but returning for Spring 2025

You must vacate your residence hall room by 6:00 PM on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.

During the winter recess, we do require all electric equipment to be unplugged. Remember to unplug, defrost, and leave your refrigerator door open. University staff typically enter rooms over break for health and safety checks and routine maintenance.

Please secure or take home any valuables to minimize the chance of theft over the break. You do not have to remove your belongings over the winter break; however, you will have no access to your residence hall room during the break period.

Students found on campus without prior approval will be considered trespassing, face disciplinary action, be charged the applicable rate, and be removed from university property.

If your room has an empty bed, be aware that someone may be assigned to that space at any time over the break. Make sure that your possessions only occupy the portion of the space you are contracted for (i.e. remove items from the extra closet, clear out all dresser drawers, separate and remove everything from spare bed, etc.).

Not returning for Spring 2025

If you are not staying on campus for Spring semester, you are not eligible for Winter Break housing. If you will not be returning to campus for Spring 2025, you must complete a Cancellation Request Application by logging into Metro Campus – www.fdu.edu/metromyhousing and Florham Campus – www.fdu.edu/florhammyhousing. All students are bound to an academic year agreement unless they are withdrawing, graduating, transferring, taking a leave of absence, attending the Wroxton Campus/Studying Abroad, or will have an academic internship or Co-op.

Your cancellation request is not approved until you receive official notification.

If your cancellation request is approved:

You are responsible for contacting Mail Services and completing a change of address form prior to leaving campus. You must vacate your residence hall room by Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at 6:00 PM
