Break Housing Information and FAQs

You must request break housing because the residence hall license agreement does not include housing during breaks.

Athletes are responsible for checking with their coaches regarding break housing. All necessary requests should be turned in by the deadline.

If you need to change your dates, please complete the form again. If you need to cancel, complete the cancelation form.

During the break period, staffing and services (mail, custodial, hall office desk hours, etc.) will be limited. Please contact the Department of Residence Life at 701-231-7557 weekdays between 7:30 am and 4 pm with any questions you may have. In case of an emergency, contact Campus Police at 701-231-8998.

Security doors will be locked at all times. Card access to the residence halls will be given to each student registered for break housing. “Twelve-to-twelve” access will be provided—meaning those who request access for the night of November 27, for example, will have access from 12 pm/noon on the 27th until 12 p.m./noon on the 28th.

Guest hours will be from 12 pm/noon to 10 pm. No overnight guests will be allowed over break periods. All other hall rules will be in effect during the break period.
