For the Fall 2020 semester, course instruction will move online after the Thanksgiving holiday in the hopes of preventing the spread of COVID-19. This change will alter many of our on-campus services; however, residents in Daniel House, Moore Hall, and Grad House will be able to remain in their apartments during this time providing they register to do so by November 8.
To share important information about this process, the following information was shared with residents of Daniel House, Moore Hall, and Grad House on Thursday, September 24:
In order for RLSH to have an accurate record of who will be staying on-campus during the break period (between November 25 through January 3), we are asking current residents in Daniel House, Moore Hall and Grad House to register for Winter Break Housing on the SMU Housing portal. The deadline to register for break housing is Monday, November 8 at 11:59 PM.
A few notes regarding break housing:
- Break housing is only available for continuing students with a Spring 2021 room assignment who are enrolled in classes for the Spring 2021 semester.
- Students who withdraw or leave SMU are not eligible for break housing.
- All SMU policies, including the Code of Conduct and RLSH Community Standards are in effect and all students are expected to abide by all policies.
- No guests or visitors are permitted and residents are expected to follow all COVID-19 precautions such as wearing masks and social distancing measures.
- Dining Services will have limited offerings through December 14. Meal plans are active through December 14, and will start again during spring semester. Students on meal plans will be responsible for their own meals after December 14. Students without meal plans will continue to need to provide their own meals. The University will conduct cleaning and maintenance projects that may result in temporary inconvenience to residents such as interruptions in hot water, closures of community restrooms, carpet cleaning and the like.
- The Residence Life and Student Housing Office located in Boaz Residential Commons will be open during regular business hours, 8:30-5:00 Monday-Friday.
- Services on-campus will be limited, and offices will be closed from Thursday, November 26, 2020 through Friday, November 27, 2020 and from Wednesday, December 23, 2020 through Sunday, January 3, 2021.
