While you begin to prepare for finals, we want to share information about the move-out process and what steps you may need to take, as well as information regarding summer housing options.
Our buildings close at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 11.
All Resident Assistant (RAs) will be hosting closing floor meetings between April 25 and May 2. It’s important you attend because they will cover everything you need to know to check out and avoid being charged for damages / cleanliness. Also, ensure your forwarding address is updated for mail and package processing.
All residents have two different ways they can checkout:
Option #1 – Check out with an RA.
You will need to sign-up for a day and time to be checked out by 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 you plan to depart, please remove your belongings, clean your space, and then meet with the RA you signed up with so they can inspect your room and take your keys and access card.
Option #2 – Express Checkout Process.
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 Checkout. 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. Please note that you will not have the right to appeal any charges if you complete an Express Checkout.
Failure to properly check out using one of the two options above prior to 10:00 am on Saturday, May 11 will result in various fees:
- Improper Checkout: $75
- Keys & Access Card Replacement: $95
- Packing Fee: $150 minimum (if necessary)
- Damages/Cleanliness: varies based on the condition of your room
Starting May 3, 2024 at 10:00 p.m., 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 are taking intersession classes and need to request housing beyond 10:00 am on Saturday, May 11:
You will need to fill out the Summer 2024 housing application and specify the dates you need housing. All students with a summer housing contract will move to Hutchens House (unless you currently live in Sunvilla or Monroe). You will be emailed your room assignment and move-in information prior to May 11.
You can find the housing application by going to the following:
