Football/Thanksgiving 2021 Break Housing

Students may request break housing during the Thanksgiving break period and for the WVU vs. Texas football game.

A limited number of residence halls (Oakland Halls East/West, Stalnaker Hall as well as Bennett, Braxton, and Brooke Towers in the Evansdale Residential Complex), are scheduled to remain open during fall/winter break. Students living in these halls may register to stay in their rooms during the break period. A limited number of spaces have been designated in residence halls on Evansdale for students who live in halls other than those scheduled to remain open for Thanksgiving break housing. Locations are subject to change and may be adjusted based upon demand for break housing.

Students may stay in their assigned space on Friday, November 19 and Saturday, November 20 if they plan to attend the WVU vs. Texas football game. There is no charge for them to stay, however they will be required to register. Access to all residence halls will be available ONLY to students who have registered. They must depart their hall by 10 a.m., Sunday, November 21 unless they are registered for Thanksgiving break housing. Registration will open in mid-October.
