Spring Break Housing

Do you qualify?

Space is limited for spring break housing. Priority will be given in the following order for those who request a place to stay:

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

Cost and fees

The cost of Spring Break transitional housing is $10 per night (or $70 for the week). 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 fine plus the $70 housing fee (for a total of $170.00) charged to anyone who stays at KE without applying and receiving a placement.

Dining Halls

The dining halls will be closed during Spring Break. The last meal available is lunch on Friday, March 15th. The dining hall will re-open on Sunday, March 24th.

Dates

Housing is available from Saturday, March 16th - Saturday, March 23rd.

The registration deadline for Spring Break housing is Wednesday, March 6th. There is a fee of $25 for late registration. Sign up early to avoid late fees. Any changes made after Wednesday, March 13 will result in a $25 fee.

What to Pack

Clothes, personal hygiene 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.

Current Knollcrest East Residents

There is no charge for current KE residents to stay during break. However, registration is still required. You will remain in your current apartment over break. Students who are interested in hosting dorm students should contact Jana Biegel at jlb53@calvin.edu.

All Calvin College policies apply during Spring Break.
