Spring Break Hall Information & Dates
All Ohio University residence halls remain open for Spring Break, and students may choose to stay on campus, leave, or come and go as needed.
We highly encourage students to communicate with any roommates and/or suitemates about any travel plans. If all students in the room/suite are departing campus, make sure the last one leaving completes the room cleaning checklist.
Spring Break dates can be found on the academic calendar. University offices will remain open for the full Monday to Friday of Spring Break.
Note: The information on this page is for the 2025-2026 academic year. Updated information for the following year will be available in January 2027.

Room Cleaning Checklist
Before leaving campus for Spring Break, make sure to:
- Remove and discard perishable items from the fridge.
- Take all trash out to the dumpsters.
- Close and secure the windows before leaving. Blinds should be left open.
- Adjust the thermostat or air unit to the temperature range indicated on the ‘Heating and Cooling’ section of your room’s back-of-door signs. Doing this will improve air flow in the room and remove humidity from the air.
Removing perishable items/trash, ensuring air circulation and overall good housekeeping practices are essential to eliminating mold and mildew growth, especially during spring season.
Lastly, if traveling, avoid picking up “hitchhikers” while away for spring break. Bedbugs and other pests can be found anywhere people congregate or spend significant time. While we hope that everyone has a safe and fun spring break it is important to take a few extra minutes to inspect anywhere you stay to ensure you avoid bringing back any unwanted “souvenirs.”
Food Service and Operations
While the residence halls will remain open over spring break, the dining halls will close. Check out the dining hall and market hours and important information on meal plan periods and meal prorations for break periods before break begins to best prepare if remaining on campus.
