Break Housing Agreement
During break periods, staffing and services in our residential communities are limited. Therefore, in order to maintain necessary security, special policies are in effect above and beyond the College and Residence Life and Housing policies. Be sure to review the Break Housing Agreement before applying for break housing, as residents who receive approval to remain in housing during a break period are responsible for abiding by the protocols stated in this document.

Break Housing is not a guarantee and requests are not automatically approved. In the request, students need to provide the reason they need a Break Housing accommodation. Approved reasons typically include students needing to remain on campus to complete an academic or athletic obligation, students experiencing home insecurity, or students whose home address is out of the state or out of the country.

Break Housing Scholarships
Break housing scholarships are available for students in need of financial support for break housing costs. Scholarships are limited and students must apply for each break/summer session. Students not receiving the scholarship will be responsible for all break housing costs as outlined above.
Who can apply for a break housing scholarship?
Students that have been approved for break housing (Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring, Summer) and have a financial need beyond their control can apply.
How do I apply for a break housing scholarship?
Students approved for break housing may apply for the break housing scholarship at myhousing.oswego.edu prior to break by completing the scholarship application and updating any supporting documentation that may be needed (financial paperwork from the Financial Aid office, a letter from campus office, etc.). The application is then reviewed and an outcome is provided to the applicant.
