This is a REMINDER to all students regarding the winter break.
Please remember that University Housing closes at 12:00 noon on Sunday, December 19, 2010. All housing will re-open at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, January 17, 2011. Take any items of value with you when you leave. Experience has shown that all residential areas are susceptible to burglaries during break periods. Upon leaving, please make sure that:
All windows and doors are closed and locked- Blinds and window treatments are closed
- Garbage is removed from the room
- Holiday decorations are removed and disposed of properly
- Heat is turned down to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (NOT off)
- Room door closed and locked
Take any belongings you will need, university personnel will not let you into your unit once it is closed.
Only students who reside in wood frame houses may remain in their unit during the break. However if you live in a wood frame house, you will need to register with the Office of Residential Life by Saturday, December 18, 2010 to let us know you plan to be here during the break. http://www.wesleyan.edu/reslife/Forms/woodframe_house_info.htm.
Unless you have already been pre-approved to return to campus early, you cannot access your housing prior to Monday, January 17, 2011. Many of our residential units will be alarmed throughout the break period. If tripped, the situation will be treated as a burglary in progress and both Public Safety and the Middletown Police will respond to the scene.
If you are not returning to your current room next semester, you must move out no later than Sunday, December 19, 2010 at noon. Please remove all of your belongings and turn in your key to the Office of Residential Life by that time.
For storage information, please go to: http://www.wesleyan.edu/pplant/studentstorage.html.
If you are not returning to campus next semester, you must take all of your belongings with you. There is no long-term storage available; the cleaning staff will dispose of any belongings left behind by students on leave or studying abroad. If you are studying abroad, you can not leave belongings with friends to store during the summer.
If you have any questions, feel free to call the Office of Residential Life at x-3550 or email us at reslife@wesleyan.edu.
Thank you for your cooperation. Have a safe and happy break.
