Break Closings

All residential facilities are closed when school is not in session for longer than three consecutive business days. Before leaving, residents must turn off all lights, unplug all appliances (not including refrigerators), and lock all doors and windows. Thermostats should be set to 74 in the summer and 68 in the winter when students are leaving for breaks.

Scheduled YHC closings will be posted on the official academic calendar which can be accessed at yhc.edu/academics/calendar.

Students with extenuating circumstances must apply and obtain permission to remain in campus housing during break periods. For the purposes of students’ safety, Residence Life may consolidate students during these break periods, closing certain residence halls. Students who are approved to be on campus during times the residence halls are not open for general occupancy are not permitted to have any guests until the residence halls reopen. Any YHC student who has not yet been approved to be on campus during that break period or any individual who is not connected to the YHC campus is considered a guest. Residents who are found in violation of this guest policy or any other College policy will be removed from housing immediately and not permitted to return until the residence halls reopen.
