For student-athletes who return to campus during the institution's official vacation period between regular academic terms, such expenses only may be provided for not more than a 48-hour period beginning with the student-athlete's return to campus. Under all circumstances, if the student-athlete lives at home during any vacation period, the cost of room and board may not be provided by the institution.
