Preparing for Move In

Travel to campus should be scheduled so that you can move in during regular move-in hours. Early arrival and check-in are not permitted, so plan your travel arrangements accordingly.

Preparing for Move Out

You should move out of your residence after you have taken your final exams and attended your last class meetings. There are no exceptions to the move out times listed above, so plan your travel arrangements accordingly. Student ID cards and access to the residences will expire at these times.

If you are registered for consecutive 3-Week sessions, consecutive 3-Week and 4-Week sessions, or consecutive Pre-College Program sessions, you do not move out between your sessions and should refer to the move out schedule for your last session.

Residences must be vacated no later than the date and time listed above for your session. Make sure you talk to your proctor and attend your move-out meeting for more information.
