Residency Period and Break Policy
The residence halls at California University of PA are open for occupancy by contracted students only during those times that classes are in session. Students must check out of their rooms when the residence halls close during the academic year, including Thanksgiving, winter, spring and Easter breaks.
There is a finals week at the end of each semester, and students are required to vacate the residence hall after completing their last exam. Requests for exceptions for students participating in sanctioned university events or for international students must be made to the residence hall director before the break begins. Details and deadlines included on the break posting published before each break, and listed below, are strictly enforced. There is a daily charge to anyone granted permission to stay in the residence hall during times it is officially closed.
