Guidelines for spring Move Out

  • Plan your departure and travel arrangements - all students must be moved-out by 4:00 p.m. either Saturday May 7 (East Halls residents) or Sunday May 8. 
  • Coordinate your move-out time to be a different time than your roommate, suite-mates, or apartment-mates
  • Consider departing during slower times, such as prior to 10:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m.
  • Pack your items in advance! Be prepared for when your ride arrives, so they do not have to wait
  • Visitors may park temporarily in lots around residence halls, but must have flashers on and leave within 20 minutes.
