During longer vacation periods (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break), the residence halls will close for domestic students. ISEP students who wish to remain on campus will be allowed to do so with pre-approval from the OIE and Housing Office. Fees will be incurred for students who want to stay on campus during the summer break.
