What application and charge conditions does Cornell University publish for eligible 2026–27 winter-break housing?
DIRECT ANSWER
2026–27 winter break only; eligible spring-returning students and designated/exception residence halls. The separately listed 2027–28 halls are excluded. Listed $125/$500 options are not a campus-wide price or a guarantee of space. Confirm building-specific prices, individual placement, exact stay dates and availability with Cornell. University guidance checked on October 18, 2026.
Eligible spring-returning Cornell students apply for designated 2026–27 winter-break housing even if their own hall stays open. Cornell lists eligible options at $125 for one week or $500 for the full break; building exceptions still matter.
University guidance
Cornell’s 2026–27 winter-break housing uses designated residence halls. Eligible students returning for spring must apply through the Housing Portal, including residents whose own hall remains open. Cornell lists $125 for a one-week option and $500 for a full-break option, with limited listed exception halls. Those prices apply to the eligible options Cornell describes; they are not a campus-wide price or a guarantee of a space.
Before planning a stay, match the student’s spring-returning eligibility and assigned building to the 2026–27 options, check whether an exception applies, and complete the required application. Cornell separately lists 2027–28 halls; that later building list must not be substituted for 2026–27. Confirm exact stay dates, the student’s placement and any exception-specific charge with Cornell before making commitments. University guidance checked on October 18, 2026.
