2024-2025 Move-In & Move-Out Information

Check back frequently for updates on Move-Out 2025!

As the end of the academic year approaches, we want to remind everyone of the importance of timely move-out for students living on campus. While housing contracts officially end on June 14, 2025 at 3:00PM, we encourage students to plan their move-out after their last final exam. The earlier they can vacate, the better, especially with commencement events looming. Early departure helps mitigate traffic and parking congestion on campus during this busy time. Stay updated on move-out procedures by checking back frequently for updated information.

Additionally, consult your community Residence Life Offices for specific information regarding move-out for your housing community. 

Preparation For Move-Out

If you are planning to go home on the weekend including Memorial Day weekend (May 24 – 26), we recommend that you pack a few extra bags or ship a box or two of your belongings home as well. This will make the move-out process much smoother and easier for you.

• The Trove is centrally located in the northwest corner of the Price Center. They provide on-site parcel processing via US Postal Service and offer discounts on UPS and FedEx compared to carrier direct.
• Note: International packages require a computer-generated USPS customs form.

Consider moving out after May 31(Recommended if you do NOT have in-person commitments for finals)

• Residents can begin moving out without an approved contract termination as early as May 31, 2025 as the last two weeks of each quarter are not prorated.
• We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity, especially if you do not have in-person commitments for finals.

Consider moving out during the week of June 9-13 (Recommended for best vehicle access)

• We strongly urge all residents to move out earlier in the week prior to June 14, especially if using multiple vehicles to avoid impacted traffic and parking due to Commencement.
• All this week temporary loading signs will be posted near residence halls or apartments for quick loading access.
• If you need to park longer than the posted loading time, please use nearby pay station parking.
• Transportation Services will be activating their Commencement/Move-out webpage, which will detail campus entry points for move-out, parking instructions and a link to a move-out access voucher specifically for use on Saturday, June 14, the busiest traffic day of the week due to Commencement.
  • This voucher will help transportation staff identify which location to best help students and their families. This voucher can be printed out or shown on a phone or tablet for access.
  • The college residential area where you live will have a voucher unique to that neighborhood. Here is an example so you know what to look for.

Exceptions to move-out deadlines - LIMITED Exceptions may be approved for a late stay request past the contract move-out deadline of June 14, 2025 at 3:00PM via a required on-line written request. Students are being instructed to submit any Late Stay Request with their Single Sign-On credentials through the Housing Portal beginning today through June 2, 2025. Note the following:

• Late Stay Request will be available beginning May 12, 2025 via the Housing Portal.
• Submitting a request does not guarantee an approval to stay later.
• The Residence Life Office where you live will review the request and limited approvals for a late stay will be made if you meet certain criteria. You may be asked to provide documentation following the request for an extension.
• Failing to follow the applicable steps can result in a fee assessed for Improper Checkout.
• Requests for Late Stays will not be available after June 2, 2025 at 11:59PM (PST).

 When All is Packed and Ready to Go: All current residents will do an Express Check-Out when they have completely moved out and are ready to turn in their keys and depart campus.

• The form will be available for access via Single Sign-On credentials in the Housing Portal beginning May 30, 2025. Do not complete this form until are you are ready to move-out and depart campus.
• Additional information will be posted online on the HDH Move-In/Move-Out page and you will receive more detailed move-out information from your RA/HA and Residence Life Office.

All units will be assessed for damages after move-out. You may incur a damage fee should there be excessive cleaning or physical damages noted in your suite or apartment.
