Housing Information

Exam Period

Graduating Seniors who plan on staying in on-campus housing during Senior Days will be permitted to stay in their current residence for the duration of the exam period. The “Move Out within 24 Hours of Your Last Final” rule does not apply to this group of Seniors. During this time, Seniors are expected to continue to adhere to residence hall policies and not serve as a distraction for other students preparing for final exams.

Senior Days Housing

The application to register for Senior Days will be available on April 4.



The last final exam is scheduled for Wednesday, May 15. All students, with the exception of Seniors who are remaining for Senior Days, are expected to leave 24 hours after their last final exam and no later than 10:00AM on May 16th. All halls/suites/apartments will close at 10:00AM on Thursday May 16. Graduating seniors living in University Center (Easton Avenue), Sojourner Truth Apartments and Livingston Apartments can stay in their assignment until May 20.

Only those students who graduated in January 2018 or are eligible to graduate in May or October 2019, AND who have been living in campus residence halls during the Spring 2019 semester will be eligible to live on campus during Senior Days. When all regular residence halls/suites/apartments close at 10:00AM on Thursday May 16th, Seniors will be permitted to stay in their current residence halls during the transitional hours until the halls designated for Senior Days are ready. This allows for appropriate cleaning between the closing of the halls/suites/apartments and the opening of Senior Days housing.

The residence halls to be used for Seniors will be Metzger (Busch), Lippincott (Cook/Douglass), Hardenbergh (College Avenue). Livingston students may stay in their assigned residence (Quads/Towers). All policies that are applicable during the year are still applicable during Senior Days. There will be staff monitoring the building. Students WILL be charged for any damages that may occur in the space.

Seniors choosing to stay in Senior Days housing will be assigned to traditional residence halls on the campus where they lived during Spring 2019. Seniors will pick up their keys for Senior Days housing at the building they will be moving into between 3pm – 5pm on Thursday May 16. At that time, they will also be able to drop off their key from their Spring housing assignments.

Seniors must vacate this housing no later than 10:00am on Monday, May 20.
