Post Thanksgiving Extended Stay Request

November 25th - December 18th

Request to Remain in Housing Post-Thanksgiving Break

Residents who do not have a specific need to remain in housing after 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 28th are encouraged to head to their winter break destinations or elsewhere for the remainder of the term to minimize the risks associated with traveling back and forth to campus. This was made possible by intentional design to conclude all classes fully online after the Thanksgiving Break. Residents of Jaeger and Ondrak may not remain in the room beyond November 28th. Only Founders' residents may request to stay through the remainder of the term (restrictions apply), keeping in mind the following:

  1. Students who need to remain must submit a request through this online form. For proper planning purposes, the deadline to make a request is Sunday, November 6th.

  2. Approved requests will be limited to academic reasons only that include student teaching and internships that are outside a commutable distance from permanent home address.

  3. The residence halls will be vacated, closed, and secured completely by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, December 18th for the Winter Break. Requests to stay past this time will not be approved.

  4. Fall 2020 meal plans end at 7:00 p.m. after dinner on Tuesday, November 24th (see above). Students who are approved to remain in their residence hall rooms after this time will be expected to secure food/meals on their own. 

  5. Residence hall staffing patterns will vary and the availability of student services may not be available following November 25th. Students approved to remain in housing for the remainder of the term should call 911 or University Police at (630) 829-6122 in case of emergency.

  6. Change of guest policy will be implemented. No guests are permitted at any time during the break. No guests, including Benedictine community members, will be allowed in University Housing, in any room/unit. Violations of this policy will result in immediate termination of housing.

  7. No alcohol is allowed at all under any circumstances, even if students are 21 or over.

  8. Approved requests will be confirmed via email the week of November 9th.

  9. Students who violate any policies will be subject to sanctions, including possible loss of housing privileges.
