University Lofts Residents
The University Lofts will remain open for the duration of the winter break. The Edgewood mailroom will continue to operate out of the University Lofts during the break. The mailroom will be operating on a reduced winter break schedule.
Commons and Piedmont North Parking Deck
The University Commons Parking Deck and Piedmont North parking deck will be closed for the duration of the winter break. Students will not be permitted to access the Commons and Piedmont North parking decks during the break. You can leave your car over the break, but if you will need your vehicle during the break you will need to take your car home for the whole break.
Room Vacancies
If your room has a vacant space prior to your departure for the holiday break, you may receive a new or returning student as your roommate for the Spring Semester. Georgia State University Housing expects student rooms to be clean and welcoming for new roommates. If you have any questions about University Housing’s winter closing procedures, please feel free to contact your Resident Assistant (RA), Residence Hall Director (RHD), Assistant Hall Director (AHD) or Community Desk.
Terminations
If you are not planning on returning to University Housing for the Spring Semester you will need to terminate your housing contract at the Central Housing Office located at 75 Piedmont in Suite 110. Based on the fee schedule, you will be charged the spring housing fee based on the date you submit your termination form.
