Move-Out Details

Moving out of your Residence Hall Room

To prepare for your check-out with Campus Housing or the Online Self Check-Out form, please make sure that your room is completely cleared of your belongings and follow the checklist below (to avoid improper checkout fees) before returning your room key.

Ready to Check-Out?

When you're ready to check-out, you will head down to the Campus Housing Office (Ground Floor of Augustine Hall). Between 8:30am-4:30pm Monday through Friday, Campus Housing will be open to complete your check-out, collect your room key, and confirm you have completed all move-out items.

Checking out after hours or during the weekend?

Students can utilize our Self Check-Out Form on the StarRez Housing Portal where they'll agree they have completed all move-out items and have dropped their room key (labeled) into the black metal key dropbox that is next to Campus Housing's office door. An additional email with an easy to use "magic link" for the self check-out form will be emailed to students prior to move-out week.
