Reminder: Are You Prepared for Move-Out?
📅 Saturday, May 3 – Saturday, May 10
Vacate Your Room Within 24 Hours of Your Last Final Exam
All Halls Close: đź“… Saturday, May 10 @ 4 p.m.
As the semester comes to an end, we're bummed you'll be leaving, but we're relishing the last weeks you're here. Between finals and packing your belongings, take a moment to review move-out information so you can be prepared after your last exam. Know what's on your move-out checklist, the altered dining and desk hours during finals week, where to park, quiet hours, what you can donate or recycle, and a few more important things before we say goodbye for the year.
