Housing extensions for students living in the resident halls will be granted only for students who need temporary housing for University reasons or to assist with travel arrangements. Students requesting a housing extension must submit their request no later than February 17, 2012. No exceptions will be made after this date without incurring additional late fees. To request a housing extension for this or any University break period (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Spring Break or End-of-the-Year Closing), students can submit requests on-line through the MyLaSalle Portal on the Life at La Salle tab in the Living channel. Academic, department and program chairs/coaches/supervisors should submit a list of approved students participating in academic or other University related events. The list of students should contain the student's name, ID #, and their purpose for staying beyond the deadline date for any applicable periods. Your list is for reference purpose only and does not mean a student has been submitted for an extension request. As many students stay for various reasons and needs, each student must submit their own requests. We use the information you provide to verify specific requests. A list of on-call emergency personnel will be available for Spring Break on the “Residential Living” portal group for the on-call Administrative Services, Security and Community Development staff.
