Christmas Break
Start the holidays off right by making sure everything in your room is in order before you leave.
For your safety and security, your room/house will be checked by the Residence Life staff and Security during break.
Note: This information is related to residential closing. Academic classes and coursework must be followed per the instructor for that class. If there are any conflicts, please contact your RA or the Office of Residence Life for accommodations. Residential closing does not excuse a student from missing class.
Important Details
- You must leave within 24 hours after your last exam.
- Quiet hours will be strictly enforced. Violations can result in judicial action, fines, and/or evictions.
- If you need to stay late, you must complete the late stay form on MyLC. (Once you log in, click the "residential" link on the left, then the "Arrival form" tab.)
Non-Returning Students
If you are not returning to LC for the spring semester, you must schedule a time with your RA to check out. Contact Residence Life at ext. 8320 to schedule a time. (Please do so at least forty-eight hours in advance of your departure.) All of your belongings must be moved out of your room prior to departing LC.
