Information for Winter Break

by Betsy Chapman

Students and parents should be aware of a number of procedural items about the winter break and requirements for parking, residence hall preparation, and more:

  • Parking: There are special instructions for students with cars on campus about where to park during the winter break: https://parents.wfu.edu/news/parking-instructions-for-winter-break/
  • Residence Hall Closing: Residence halls will close at 9 a.m. on December 12th and will reopen at 9 a.m. on January 8, 2011 (except for students returning for women’s recruitment).  All residents must vacate their rooms for the entire break period. All residence halls, apartments and houses will be closed and locked throughout the entire Winter Break period. Students will not be permitted back into their rooms during the break period, for any reason.
  • Preparing Dorm Rooms for Break: Residence Life and Housing has a web site with information about how to prepare rooms for winter break: http://www.wfu.edu/housing/processes/winter-break.html. Please be sure your students are aware of requirements regarding refrigerators, unplugging of electrical appliances, and more.
