  • Moving Out

    At the end of each academic year residence halls close for the summer. Unless you are a student who completed a housing contract for summer, you will need to move out and take steps to clean out your room and forward your mail. The move out guide will help you through that process.

Residence Life Handbook

Be sure to read through the Residence Life Handbook. You are responsible for understanding the contents of the Residence Life Handbook. In addition to policies and procedures, you’ll learn best practices to avoid roommate conflicts, how to set up your gaming console, and what to do if you get locked out of your room. So, be sure to refer back to the handbook any time you have questions. Additional questions or concerns should be directed to your assigned Residence Assistant or the Office of Residence Life.
