Residence Hall Move-Out Procedures.

All non-graduating residents are required to check out and vacate their rooms within 24 hours of their last exam, or by Tuesday, May 13 by 5:00 p.m., whichever comes first. For more information on the move-out dates and procedures, please visit the Office of Residential Life's website.

All graduating residents are required to check out and vacate their rooms by Monday, May 19 by 8:00 p.m. We highly recommend that you remove the majority of your belongings in the days prior to Monday. Due to the large number of guests attending graduation and the limited time between the end of Commencement and move out, you can expect long delays for moving vehicles to dorms to load belongings. If by Sunday, you only have a small bag and the items needed for graduation left in your room, this will allow you to enjoy your day on Monday and reduce the need to move your vehicle to the dorm at the conclusion of the ceremonies. Congratulations to the Class of 2025!

Check your Student Account.

Please check your student account before leaving for the semester.  All balances must be paid by May 1 to avoid holds and late fees.
