Skyberg Hall Traditional Residence Hall

Policy Changes Due to COVID-19

The University of Minnesota Crookston shortened the fall calendar by one week of classes (within university policy), which shortened the semester to 109 days; thus Residential Life reduced all rates.

The fall semester will have two lease periods.

• 1st Lease Period: All students in housing will pay prorated fees for August 23 (Sunday before classes start) to November 25 at 5:00pm (last day prior to Thanksgiving).
• 2nd Lease Period: All classes will move online following Thanksgiving Break; however, residence halls will remain open for those who choose to return to campus. Since there are 15 days between November 26 (Thanksgiving) and December 10 (last day of finals), students who elect to be on campus during this period will pay a prorated fee.
• Students who elect to remain home after Thanksgiving will not pay for the 2nd lease period, but they will be able to leave personal items in their rooms at no additional cost.
• We anticipate requiring students to make a choice about whether or not they will return for the 2nd lease period by the end of the first week of November.

Additional Considerations

• Rather than charging a daily rate over winter break, we will shift to a flat fee for winter break. Those rates are being calculated based on previous revenue and occupancy and will be released once approved.
• There is no force majeure clause.
• Those who purchase a single room will pay the flat fee of $825 for the semester; that rate will apply whether or not the student stays for the 2nd lease period.
• The social fee will remain $20 per semester whether or not the student stays for the 2nd lease period.
• As we continue to monitor the national situation with COVID-19, we will always make decisions based on the health and safety of our students in light of the best information available. As soon as the University makes final decisions about Spring Semester, we will work with each resident to update your contract for the rest of the academic year.
