Move Out - May 1st - 16th 2021: Plan, Pack, Place
Good Morning - 

We hope this email finds you well and that you are enjoying the last week of classes. 

As the move-out process begins across campus, we ask that you review the reminders in this email and continue to reference the information available at go.wfu.edu/moveout. 

In the days leading up to your departure from campus, be sure to follow the 3P’s - Plan, Pack and Place. 
PLAN - 
Have you…

  • Made a Move-Out Appointment?
  • Appointments are available on the Housing Portal at go.wfu.edu/housingportal. 
  • You are expected to check out within 24 hours of your last final.
  • Failure to schedule an appointment may lead to an improper check-out charge.

  • Submitted any Work Orders?
  • Work orders can be submitted at workorders.wfu.edu, or by calling Customer Service at 336-758-4255. 

  • Cleaned, defrosted, and emptied your refrigerator?

  • Returned your Pit To-Go container?
  • Return your green to-go containers to The Pit or Hilltop at North Dining.

  • Cleaned your space?
  • Please be sure to review expectations on our move-out website. 
PACK - 
Have you…

  • Packed or stored all of your belongings?
  • Students will need to pack, clean, and box their items prior to their move-out appointment time. Given the need for physical distancing, the move-out appointment must be used to take your belongings from your room to your car/storage, not as a time to begin packing.
  • Any abandoned personal property will be disposed of; failure to remove everything other than University furniture will be subject to applicable fines.

  • Removed all items from bathrooms, countertops, and communal spaces.
  • Items left in community laundry rooms will be collected and turned over to a local charitable organization.

  • Retrieved your bicycle, scooter, and/or motorized bikes?
  • Any bikes left on campus over the summer are subject to collection by University Police.

  • Properly disposed of your trash and recycling?
  • As you remove these items, please be sure to take them to the designated areas within your community. 

  • Donated any items in the proper Deacs Donate location?
  •  Take them to the appropriate donation location within your community.

Small Donation: clothing and small items. Large: furniture. Donate Non perishable and unopened food. Bike donations go to outdoor pursuits through campus rec. Textbooks returned to book store.

  • Returned all furniture to its place?
  • Spaces found without designated furniture will have the cost of replacement billed to the occupant(s) of the room. Furniture from common spaces found in rooms will also be billed.
FINAL REMINDERS

  • Ensure all of your belongings have been removed and properly disposed of from any shared or common areas.

  • Fan coil units should be set to 70° and low fan speed.
  • Turn off the lights.
  • Lock your room door and return your key(s). Do NOT leave your key(s) in your room.

The morning of your selected Move-Out Appointment, you’ll receive an email with a reminder of how to return your key(s) and finalize your check out via the housing portal.

If you have any other questions between then and now, please contact your hall staff with any community-specific questions you may have, or feel free to reach out to us at housing@wfu.edu or at 336.758.5185.
