Departure Survey

Complete the 2025 Spring Semester Housing Departure Survey to assist the University with managing end-of semester tasks.
 

Move Out then Check Out

  • Students with a keyless lock: Once you have moved out of your room, go to eLiving > My Info > Check Out to indicate that you have moved out of the room. You will receive an email confirmation from eLiving to confirm that you have been checked out. Failure to complete this action may result in a $25 improper check out fee billed to your LionPATH account.

  • Students with a physical room key: Once you have moved out of your room, return your room key to your housing area Commons Desk. You will receive an email confirmation from eLiving that you have been checked out which will indicate the status of your room key (returned, not returned, wrong key returned, etc.). Failure to return the room key assigned to you will result in a core change being processed and charges billed to your LionPATH account.

 

Other Helpful Tips

  • Too many items to take home?

    • Consider a donation of items to Goodwill. Collection bins are available in every residence hall between April 23 - May 11

    • Storage options are available through Storage Squad; the deadline to sign up for service is Friday, May 2.

  • Once you officially check out of Housing (by returning your room key or using the Check Out function in eLiving), your building clearance will be turned off, and your Campus Meal Plan will no longer work. Make sure that you have received the check out confirmation email before departing campus.

  • The spring semester Campus Meal Plan ends at 4 p.m. Sunday, May 11; at that time, any remaining dining dollars will expire.

  • Stop by the Commons Desk to check for any mail or packages.

  • Plan your departure and travel arrangements - all students must move-out by 4 p.m. on either ​​​​​Saturday, May 10 or Sunday, May 11, depending on your building assignment

  • Coordinate your move-out time to be different than your roommate(s).

  • Consider departing during slower times, such as before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m.

  • Pack your items in advance! Be prepared when your ride arrives so they do not have to wait. Moving carts will be available to use.

  • Visitors may park temporarily in lots around residence halls, but must have flashers on and leave within 20 minutes.
