The dates shown here apply to the residence halls, with separate notes included where Wall and Grand Apartments follow a different schedule. Evergreen Terrace and Elizabeth Apartments operate on individual contract timelines, so residents in those communities should reach out to their area office for exact details.

Visitors and guests should check current visitation guidelines before making plans to visit. Dates and times are subject to change without notice.
