Christmas Housing

Do you qualify?

Christmas transitional housing is intended for the following students only:

  • Students living outside the Midwest who have nowhere else to stay
  • Students employed on campus who have nowhere else to stay
  • International students (non-Canadian)

Cost and fees

  • The cost of Christmas transitional housing is $160.00 ($10 per night). This fee will be charged to your student account.
  • You can avoid a housing charge if you arrange to live with a friend in KE who is also staying over break. In that case, you must still register so that your card can be activated.
  • Note: There will be a $100.00 fine plus the $160.00 housing fee charged to anyone who stays at KE without applying and receiving a placement.

What to Pack

Clothes, personal hygeine items, and sheets for the bed are things you will need.  The KE students that are opening up their apartment to you will have put away their sheets.  You will NOT be able to get into your dorm room after 10:00am on Saturday.  Those staying with hosts will have limited access to their pots, pans, and plates.  However, there will be some additional cooking items at the deskie available for check out.  Please try to limit what you bring to 2 suitcases.  It is not necessary to bring over all your belongings.  The dorms are locked and your items will be safe there.  You do not need to bring cleaning supplies as they are available in the apartments.  The van available for transportation fills quickly so it is limited to luggage and people.

Dining Halls

The dining halls will be closed during Christmas Break. The last meal available is lunch on Friday, December 14th. The dining hall will re-open on Wednesday, January 2nd for dinner.

Dates

Housing is available from Saturday, December 15 - Wednesday, January 2

The registration deadline for Christmas Break housing is Wednesday, December 5th. There is a fee of $25 for late registration. Any changes made after Wednesday, December 12th will also result in a $25 fee.  Sign up early to avoid late fees.
