New directions for campus breaks....

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your cooperation and input on campus breaks over the past two years. As you know, the College went to modified services in the library, cafeteria, and ad building. Campus residences have remained open, and Student Development staff on supervision duty have responded to student need depending on numbers on campus and specific requests. These adjustments have been done to improve our stewardship of resources in people and finances.

For your awareness, here is the new section of the Student Handbook 2010-2011:

Facility Use and Services:
Campus facilities are centralized in the main Administration Building (Ad). General hours will be posted on campus in relation to the various departments and services. Any changes to hours will be posted in advance when a change is required.

During long weekends, facility use and services for students are modified. The breaks are as follows: Thanksgiving (October), Term (November), Winter (February), and Easter (when applicable). Room and board fees do not include food services fees for these breaks. The residences remain open and available, as does the mall area of the ad building for washroom, satellite television, common lounge, and internet usage. Student Development Staff on supervision for these breaks reserves the right to limit access to the Ad Building dependent on student numbers. See any updated posted information related to each break.

During extended breaks, facility use and services are closed for students, except by request. The extended breaks are as follows: Christmas (Dec/Jan), Mission Trips Module (Jan), and Summer Break (May-Aug). The residences are closed. The Ad Building will be open during office hours of 8:00 am – 4:30pm, and students may request access to services through the receptionist or by appointment with appropriate personnel. Depending on the date, there would be varying levels of available access, services, and staffing. See any updated posted information related to each break.
