Thanksgiving and Spring Break Housing
Housing during these week-long breaks is free, but students must fill out an application from the Housing office to be eligible to stay.
Applications to stay on campus during the break will be sent out two weeks before the break and will be due the Wednesday prior to the break. Students staying in residence halls without approval from the Housing Office or students who do not apply by the deadline will incur a fine from the Housing Office and/or Campus Safety.
Students should note that the dining commons will not be open during breaks, and kitchen access is not guaranteed to students staying over break.
Winter Break Housing
Housing during Winter break is $100 per week charge or $300 for the three weeks of break. This is not prorated so students staying even one evening are charged the full amount for the week, or $100.
Students must fill out an application from the Housing office to be eligible to stay for winter break.
Applications to stay on campus during the break will be sent out two weeks before the break and will be due the Wednesday prior to the break. Students staying in residence halls without approval from the Housing Office or students who do not apply by the deadline will incur a fine from the Housing Office and/or Campus Safety.
Students on approved athletics rosters will not be charged for the time they are required to be on campus by their coach but will be charged for any time outside of athletic requirements.

Students Moving Out Late in May
Students moving out of spring housing later than the date set by the Housing Coordinator must fill out an application through the Housing Office. If students move off campus late without approval, they will incur a fine from the Housing Office and/or Campus Safety.
Students checking out late who are not on approved athletic rosters or are not part of an approved student leadership position will be charged $100 a night for every evening they have belongings in their Spring housing assignment. Note: This does not apply to students approved for summer housing.
Summer Housing
The summer housing application process begins in mid to late April through email from [email protected]. Once the student has filled out the application for summer housing, the Housing Coordinator may approve or deny the application. Upon approval, the Housing Coordinator will provide details about summer housing through email, and it will be reflected on the student’s my.greenville. Students will be paired together into double or triple rooms in the designated summer housing residence hall by the Housing Coordinator. If students have a roommate in mind that they would like to have over the summer, they may provide their request on the summer housing application.
Summer Housing is limited, so it will be first come, first served, and requests for summer housing will be filled at the discretion of the Housing Coordinator. The Housing Coordinator will do everything in their power to offer access to a kitchen to students staying in summer housing, but this is not guaranteed. To be eligible for Summer Housing, students must be registered for fall classes and the student cannot have a hold on their student account. Note: there are certain student conduct issues that could lead to loss of break housing privileges.
Pricing for summer housing is broken down below. It is important to note that the fee for summer housing is not prorated and student belongings being present in their summer room even one evening in the month will result in the full charge for the month being applied to the student’s account. If student’s belongings are in their summer housing room, but student isnot – the student will still be charged for the room as GU does not store student belongings over the summer break.
May: $225
June: $450
July: $450
August: $225
