Move-out Tips
- Communicate move-out day plans with your family. Talk to your family members about when and how you will be moving out, especially if they will be helping you with the process. Keeping them informed will make things easier for all of you. Be sure to communicate your plans with your roommate(s) as well!
- Confirm your final exam schedule. Before you sign up for a checkout time, make sure you know when your last final exam takes place. This is important because you need to move out within 24 hours of finishing your last final.
- Plan your storage and shipping options. Planning these out in advance will help immensely in the long run. Consider the following tips:
- If home is less than a few hours’ drive away, you may find it easiest to move your belongings there — as long as you have the space and transportation to do so!
- If home is not close enough to drive, you may want to consider storage options like Campus Storage. Reservations fill up quickly, however, so try to schedule storage services in advance.
- If you live in a different state or country, shipping your belongings home may be the best option. While shipping can be costly, it will minimize the amount of luggage you have to bring with you.
