While you begin to prepare for finals, we want to share move-out information and what steps you may need to take, as well as information regarding summer housing options.
Our buildings close at 10:00 am on Saturday, May 20.
All Resident Assistant (RAs) will be hosting closing floor meetings. It’s important you attend because they will cover everything you need to know to check out and avoid being charged for damages / cleanliness. Please talk with your RA if you missed your closing floor meeting.
All residents have two different ways they can check-out:
Option #1 – Check out with an RA.
You will need to sign-up for a day and time to check-out with an RA. Please do this as soon as possible, but at least 24 hours before you plan on checking out. Information should be available for you on your floor and throughout your building. On the day of your checkout, please remove your belongings, clean your space, and then meet with the RA you signed up with for them to inspect your room and take your keys and access card.
Option #2 – Complete an Express Checkout.
On the day you are ready to depart, remove your belongings, clean your space, and then report to the front desk. Inform the desk you are wanting to do an Express Check Out. You will then be provided with an envelope to fill out. Follow the instructions on the envelope to return your keys and access card. Please note that your living space will still be inspected by a staff member after you are gone, and you will not have the right to appeal any charges if you Express Check Out.
Failure to properly check out using one of the two options above prior to 10:00 am on Saturday, May 20 will result in various fees:
- Improper Check-Out: $75
- Keys & Access Card Replacement: $95
- Packing Fee: $150 minimum (if necessary)
- Damages/Cleanliness: varies based on the condition of your room
Starting 5/11/2023 at 10:00 pm, 23/7 quiet hours are in effect; this means quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. daily for the remainder of the semester.
If you’re staying for intersession classes and need to request housing beyond 10:00 am on Saturday, May 20:
You will need to fill out the Summer 2023 housing application. You will be able to specify the dates you need housing. All students with a summer housing contract will be relocated to Hammons House on Saturday, May 20 (unless you currently live in Sunvilla or Monroe).
You can find the summer housing application by going to the following:
