The Campus Operations Coordinator will review the forms and send a confirmation email if FNU can accommodate the student. There is a fee of $52 per night. Meals will not be served during this time, but the Dining Hall will be open 24/7 for snacks and refreshments. The Fitness Center will also be available. Students should be aware that if they arrive early or stay late, they may be the only person on Campus (aside from Security on Campus 24/7).

Early Arrival = 10 am EST the day prior to the start of their FB or CB.
Late Departure = 3 pm EST the day after the end of their FB or CB.

Students should not plan for early arrival or late departure until after they have received confirmation from FNU Housing. In some cases, Campus events are held back to back, and FNU cannot accommodate an early arrival or late departure.
