      • Sweeping
      • Vacuuming
      • Cleaning the bathroom

    • Make sure you clean out your fridge and freezer and throw away unwanted food.
    • Drop your trash in the nearest dumpster/compactor before you leave.
    • If you do not clean your room and remove trash before moving out, you will receive additional cleaning and damage fees.
    • If you are not ready to check out by your selected Move-Out time, you will receive a $100 improper checkout fee.
    • Once all of your items have been removed and you have cleaned your unit, please log into the Housing Portal during your selected Move-Out time to complete the Express Check-Out* process.

Move-Out Tips and Reminders

  • Speak with your roommates about your move-out plans to decide who will be responsible for cleaning common area spaces (bathrooms, sinks, cabinets, etc.). If the common areas in your unit are not cleaned, all roommates will incur a cleaning fee, regardless of who moved out last.
  • Please remember parking is still enforced during Move-Out; please park your vehicle in your permitted area or you may receive a citation.
  • Protect your property – Many thefts and other campus crimes occur during this time of the year. Avoid leaving personal possessions unattended or in the hallways while you are in transit. Also, remove any bikes from the outside bike racks before you leave.
