The Montana State University Halls close for Winter Break on Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 1:00pm and remain closed through Sunday, January 12, 2025 at 12:00pm. Fees for housing and meals during this time are not included in 2024 fall semester or 2025 spring semester room and board fees 

Any student staying in the residence halls during Winter Break must register for break housing and agree to pay the $25 per night Winter Break Housing fees ($725 for the entire break). Fees will be applied to student accounts and no payment is due at the time of registration.

Students may leave their belongings in their room over the break, but are encouraged to take the items they need with them during this time.
