As you are probably aware, the College’s annual spring break week begins after classes on Friday, March 13, and ends on Sunday, March 22. Classes resume on Monday, March 23. During this time, there are no scheduled classes and many offices and departments are closed.  

All information regarding Spring Break can be found on the Spring Break 2026 website.

While many students depart campus for the break, the Department of Housing and Residential Life is currently gathering information for students who plan to stay at F&M for Spring Break. 

Housing Registration and Reminders:

• Students who live in College-owned housing (on-campus and theme housing) are expected to register on the Spring Break 2026 website if they plan to stay anytime after 6 p.m. March 13 through 8 a.m. March 22.
• Students must register by TOMORROW, Friday, March 6, at noon. 
• There is no additional housing fee to stay on-campus during Spring Break. 
• Registration is mandatory so that residence hall access can be updated and so that a list of students can be provided to the Department of Public Safety. Students who are not registered for Spring Break will lose residence hall access over the break.
• Students living in off-campus apartments (College Hill or College Row) spaces are not required to register but are encouraged to check out the Spring Break website for updated hours for campus operations and dining.
