With university offices and residence halls closing during finals week, students will need to be aware of closing times in order to get out of DeKalb on time.

Gilbert, Douglas and Grant Towers residence halls will close Friday, Dec. 13 after lunch. Lincoln Hall will close the same day after dinner.

Stevenson Towers will close after lunch Dec. 14, and Neptune Hall will close the same day after the dinner meal.

Margaret Schmuller, NIU housing administrator, said that students participating in commencement on Dec. 15 may remain in the halls until 10 a.m. that day. “Otherwise, you must be out of the residence halls 24 hours after your last exam,” she said.

Residence hall computer labs will run on a reduced schedule.
