Move-Out Preparation

As you prepare to move out of your space, please be sure to complete the following before returning your keys:

  • Remove all personal belongings from your room. All remaining items will be discarded.  
  • Empty trash and recycling containers in the designated disposal areas outside of the building and place in the emptied bins back in your room.  
  • If you have any furniture from the lounge or common spaces, please return it to its rightful place.

  • Check your mailbox and package locker for any remaining items.

Checkout

Before you turn in your keys, schedule a checkout appointment with your Resident Assistant at least 24 hours prior to your desired checkout time. Once you have moved out all of your belongings and cleaned your space, you will return your keys and fob using the express checkout envelope located at your area office. If the area office is closed when you move out, place your signed express checkout envelope in the white key box at the area office.   

Carts

Carts will be available for you to use during this time. To check-out a cart please visit the area office and provide a valid photo ID to hold onto while you are using the cart. 

Loading Zones

Loading zones in the area are limited. Please use these spaces to load your vehicle and promptly move it to allow others to use the space. Be mindful of Transportation and Parking Services parking restrictions. Placing your vehicle in a restricted space may result in a citation.

Trash
