All residents must log in to My UW Housing and let us know their plans for the end of the fall semester by choosing “End of Semester Plans” by December 18. Unless signed up for winter
break housing, you should vacate your room within 24 hours of your last exam or by 12 p.m. on December 18, whichever comes first. All University Residence Halls will close at this time for residents not signed up for winter break housing and will re-open for the spring semester on January 17, 2026. More information about planning for winter break is available on our Moving & Breaks page.
