Winter Housing & Dining Reminders

All current residential students are required to complete the Winter Break Housing Intention Registration by Wednesday, December 17, 2025. For more information about our Winter Housing, please refer to this seciton on our website.

**IMPORTANT**

  • The last meal plan service for the fall term is lunch Friday, December 19 with Glassworks Eatery at Holly Pointe Commons closing at 3 p.m. Dining Dollars will carry forward from the fall to the spring term, and Rowan Bucks remain active from year to year until graduation. The Owl’s Nest in the Chamberlain Student Center will be open for lunch most weekdays 11am - 2pm during the break period (except December 18 – January 4). The spring meal plan begins Saturday, January 17.
  • Over the Winter Break, certain building services, such as maintenance to common area restrooms and lounge spaces will be reduced. Students who remain on campus should be cognizant that various maintenance and housekeeping focused projects may be taking place within their residence halls. For any rooms or apartments with an existing vacancy, or a newly created vacancy because a roommate is moving out at the end of the term, Housekeeping and Maintenance staff will need to enter the space to clean and get it ready for a potential new Spring resident.
  • Also, be advised that for each residential building there will be a limited number of CA's that will be here for the duration of winter break.

BUILDING REMINDERS:

  • RLUH staff will be performing closing walk-throughs of all rooms and apartments throughout Winter break. The main reasons for completing these site visits are for building safety and security, but also to prepare for the arrival of any new residents moving into any vacant housing assignment.
  • If you are currently living in a double occupancy bedroom with no roommate; that may change for the spring semester. You are expected to clear your belongings from the second set of furniture and make sure the furniture is completely accessible so that a new roommate will have a smooth transition to campus.
  • Likewise, if there is a vacancy in a multi-bedroom apartment, please be considerate of a potential new apartment-mate and be sure to clean the common areas and bathrooms to make for a welcoming environment.
  • RLUH staff will be inspecting these spaces over the break to ensure the rooms and apartments are ready to receive newly assigned residents, and vacant furniture and bedrooms will be cleaned by housekeeping staff.

 

The Residential Learning and University Housing office will remain open during the Winter Break. Feel free to contact us via phone at 856-256-4266 or via email at housingquestions@rowan.edu.
