Housing Calendar

Providence College residence halls close during Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring, and Easter breaks. It is the responsibility of each resident to plan their own travel in accordance with this schedule. Students must have vacated their rooms by the times listed below and return no sooner than the times listed below.

Break Housing Policy

Break housing will be provided for students who meet the stated criteria for remaining on campus during breaks, apply for break housing on eRezLife, and are approved. Break housing application links will be posted on eRezLife in advance of hall closings, and it is students’ responsibility to submit the application within the stated time frame. Just because you apply for break housing does not mean you are approved. Learn more about the Break Housing Policy here.

Early Arrival Policy

It is the responsibility of students to plan their travel in accordance with their assigned move-in dates and in accordance with the Residence Life Housing Calendar. Only a limited number of early arrival requests are granted, and students must meet certain criteria. More information about Early Arrival is available here.

Summer Storage

There is also no space on campus dedicated to long-term storage of students’ belongings. For students who have summer storage needs, the College has partnered with the UPS College Storage Program.
