Official On-Campus Housing
Request Break Housing
If you need to stay on campus at UB during fall break, winter break or spring break, we can help.
On this page:
While UB’s residence halls and apartments are closed during Thanksgiving, winter and spring break periods, housing is available for approved students. Students who wish to stay during a break period must request break housing and be approved by the appropriate deadline.
Limited Services
Because very few students stay on campus during breaks, some services (including transportation, meal and mail services) are very limited during these times.
Break Housing - including Winter Session
Prior to any given break, students will receive a “Closing Notice” outlining important information regarding hall closing in their area. During breaks:
- Residents must leave by 10 a.m. closing day unless they have applied and been approved for break housing.
- You can leave your belongings in your room.
- Access will be limited to those approved for break housing; residents may only have access to their building during this time. You must apply for break housing to remain in on-campus housing.
- Overnight guests are not allowed, due to safety and security reasons.
Do I Qualify for Break Housing?
Break housing is limited to students who have an academic or unavoidable reason to stay on campus.
Can I Stay in My Room During Break Housing?
Yes. If you are approved for break housing, you can stay in your room. However, please note that some services may be limited.
