Winter Break Housing

Barnard College's residence halls close officially for Winter Break at 9am on Friday, December 21, 2012 and reopen at 9am on Saturday, January 19, 2013.

Note:  The residence halls *do not* close for Fall, Thanksgiving, or Spring breaks (although most College offices, including Health Services and the dining halls, will be closed for all or part of those breaks).

Students may not return to or live in the residence halls over Winter Break UNLESS they have been given permission by Residential Life & Housing and have a valid 2012/13 Winter Break sticker on their ID.  Only students living in the residence halls for BOTH the Fall & Spring semesters may request Winter Break Housing.

The Winter Break Housing Request form will be available online (barnard.edu/reslife/winterbreak/) starting Monday, November 19, and must be submitted no later than 4pm on Friday, December 7, 2012.

Students approved to stay over Winter Break will be billed $400 on their student account ($100 if approved for housing between January 14-18 only).

616, 620, and Elliott will be completely closed between 9am on December 21 through 9am on January 14 (no one may occupy the building during that time).  Residents of those three buildings who wish to apply for Winter Break Housing will be responsible for locating someone to give them permission to use their room (in a residence hall which will be open) in order to be considered for housing over the break.

ELL/HH/SUT AD on maternity leave for rest of semester

We are happy to report that Amy Hargrave Leo (Associate Director for Elliott, Hewitt, and Sulzberger Tower) has given birth to a beautiful baby boy! As a result, she will be out of the office for the remainder of the Fall 2009 semester.

If you have questions that cannot be answered by your RA or your building's Graduate Hall Director (Elliott: Victoria Passarella; Hewitt & Sulz Tower: Angela Whitenhill), please contact the following AD for the remainder of the Fall semester:

• Elliott Hall: Onika Jervis (600s AD), ojervis@barnard.edu or 212-854-4241

Cleaning of Sulzberger, Elliott, and Plimpton heaters over Winter Break

Facilities Services will be checking and cleaning the heating/cooling units in Sulzberger, Sulz Tower, Elliott, and Plimpton over the winter break (December 20th, 2008 to January 20th, 2009).

Whether you intend to be here or not, you MUST remove all belongings and/or furniture that may restrict or block access to your heating/cooling unit prior to 5pm on December 20th. We ask that you make every effort to keep this area clear for the duration of the break or until a Facilities staff member services your unit.

To expedite this process, our Facilities staff will be working on this project during both day and night. Therefore, rooms that are NOT on Residential Life & Housing’s approved list for Winter Break may be entered in the middle of the night. If you have any questions, please feel free to email housing@barnard.edu.

Reminder:  Students must request and receive permission to stay in the residence halls over Winter Break.  More information is available at http://barnard.edu/reslife/winterbreak/.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation and consideration and wish you a happy holiday season!
