Campus Residence Halls

Limited on-campus residence hall accommodations are available during Alumni Weekend. You can reserve on-campus housing through Alumni Weekend registration, which will open in the spring.

Check-in/Check-out: You will pick up and drop off room keys at Registration in Ellis Hall.

Linens: Guests staying on campus will need to provide their own linens. For the bed, we recommend twin extra-long or full sheets, blankets, and pillow. Some guests may be more comfortable with a cushioned mattress topper. Don’t forget to pack bath towels and toiletries. Please note, these are residence hall rooms and do not have the same amenities as a hotel room. 

Breakfast: The buffet breakfast at Baker Refectory is not included with on-campus housing. You may purchase breakfast tickets through online registration.
