DIRECT ANSWER

Eligible residents can apply for a separate winter-break housing contract in San Jacinto Hall for an additional fee.

UT directs residents who need on-campus housing during the winter closure to apply through the housing portal for a separate winter-break housing contract. The break housing is located in San Jacinto Hall and carries an additional fee; it is not simply continued access to the student's regular residence-hall room.
