Announcements and Dates

Residence halls are open and operated when school is in session. They are not available as student housing on a year-round basis and are closed over designated holiday periods. Students may leave personal belongings in their rooms, but the rooms may not be occupied over holiday breaks. Samford is not responsible for any loss or damage to personal property left in rooms. Students may not have access to their rooms in advance of the published opening dates and must vacate their rooms by published closing dates. All personal belongings must be removed from the student's room at the end of the spring term, or when the student officially vacates the room. The University does not have facilities to provide storage for students' personal property between terms or over the summer.
