Move-Out

Whether you are leaving for the semester or moving on to your next adventure, we in Housing are sad to see you go! Please check out the sections below for helpful information to make your move as smooth as possible.
Spring 2025 Deadlines

Students are encouraged to move-out 24 hours after their last final. Residents are required to move-out no later than:

  • Friday, May 2, 2025, by noon: Non-graduating residents
  • Sunday, May 4, 2025, by noon: Graduating residents

All non-graduating residents have been assigned a check-out deadline for May 2 at noon. Graduating residents have been assigned a check-out deadline for May 4 at noon.

  • Residents can adjust their move-out appointment (move-out earlier than their assigned deadline) or request an extension until Thursday, April 17, at noon.

Check your email and My Housing for instructions for preparing your room, check-out, and other details.

Transition to Summer Housing

For the most part, residents will transition to their spring room on Thursday, May 8. Check your email for details.

  • Residents transitioning to a summer room will receive both a move-out and move-in appointment for the same time.
  • You are transitioning from one electronic lock space to another, so you are able to self check-out and self check-in, also known as self-service. If at any point you have any questions, please visit your area office and they can assist you. 
    1.  Residents should expect to connect with a member of the Residence Life team prior to transition to ensure you have everything you need prior to your move.
    2. Complete the Self Check-out for your spring assignment.
    3. Complete the Self Check-in process for your summer assignment.
    4. Remove all of your items from your spring assignment.
    5. Your access will be automatically disconnected from your spring assignment at 4:00 p.m. on the day of your check-out deadline
  • We will have bins to assist on this day.

Bin Check-Out

Bins will be available to residents to check out to assist with move-out. Residents should return their bin to the same location as quickly as possible to allow others to use it – we cannot guarantee bins will be available if they are not returned promptly.

If you remain on campus during the break, we recommend you store your Personal Mobility Device securely in a bike room.
