Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving Break Registration

In an effort to better serve the needs of our students, Residence Life allows on-campus residents to stay during designated breaks when the residence halls are closed during Thanksgiving break. Residents will be able to stay in their current housing assignment for the duration of break. A fee of $25.00 for each night will be assessed to the student’s Truman account after the break period ends to pay for staffing costs.

  • Thanksgiving Break: Friday, November 22 at 6:00 pm – Sunday, December 1 at 10:00 am
  • Registration will open Friday, September 27 at 8:00 am
  • The deadline to register for Thanksgiving Break without a late charge is Monday, November 18 at 5:00 pm

Staffing:

  • Duty staff will be available in all residence halls throughout the duration of the break. Please call your building’s duty phone number should you need assistance from Residence Life staff during the break.
