    Semester Break, Late Stay Request and Winter Early Arrival

    • Thanksgiving Break: The residence halls will remain open for students who are not traveling or returning home for the Thanksgiving break.  Please note, there is no meal service on campus so you will want to make alternate arrangements for food during that time.  If you are traveling for break, please be sure to lock all windows and doors prior to leaving.
    • Winter break: All Residence Halls will close on Saturday, December 18th at 7:00pm and will reopen on Saturday, January 8th at 12:00pm. If you have the need to stay late or return early because of a flight or a long drive, please complete the request for late housing which can be found at Winter Break Stay
    • If you need a place to stay while the university is closed, we have made arrangements with the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Detroit for $99/night. The cost of the room will be applied to your student account and the university may be able to assist in transportation to and from the hotel. Please complete the request for hotel housing at Winter Break Stay  
    • All extended stay requests and/or hotel requests must be completed by November 23, 2021 at noon. Failure to submit a request by this date may result in additional charges and/or no accommodations.

    Singles for 2021/2022

    All students requesting a single will need to fill out the Single Wait List form linked below. Singles are currently limited to a need basis.

    Singles for the 2021/2022 academic year will return to the full rate and will be based on availability in the halls.  Singles in the Quad complex are now on an as needed basis.  If spaces become available they will be given on a first come basis. Priority is given to those who filled out the form before June 12th.  The singles wait list is currently available.

    Rates for single and double rooms are listed on our Residence Halls page.

    First year students who would like a single may also fill out the singles wait list.  Priority is given to those who fill out the form before June 12th.  

    The single room is for the duration of the academic year. If later in the semester or year you wish to switch your room to a double, you must have a roommate identified or be willing to switch rooms.

    Based on need, a certain number of singles are available in each community. First Year Students will only be considered for singles in Shiple Hall. Upper class students will only be considered for singles in Holden Hall and the Quads. If there is not a single available in your preferred building, you can either choose a single in a different building or select to be in a double room.

    Singles Wait List 

    Students seeking a single as an accommodation would not be charged the single rate, but the double rate of the room.  Please contact Laura Bagdady (bagdadlm@udemercy.edu) with Disability & Accessibility Support Services to begin your housing related accommodation request.
