Storage Options
Students need to remove all personal items from University Housing when they check out. The University is not able to offer storage for students' personal belongings during the academic year or summer. For summer session students, Drop and Go Storage may be available.
Storage Squad
The University has partnered with Storage Squad to provide a storage and shipping solution for students. Students may choose Storage Squad to store and/or ship items during the summer or while on study abroad. Storage Squad accepts reservations online and offers packing supplies (boxes and tape), pick-up, and delivery storage services to both on- and off-campus housing, as well as domestic shipping via UPS Ground Service. Learn more about services offered through this 30-second video.
Stored items are priced individually, based on size per storage terms (for example, summer, semester, or a 4-month term). Storage Squad offers a price estimating tool.
End of Spring Semester: Summer Storage
At the end of spring semester, students can take advantage of summer storage with Storage Squad. Once a student signs up for service on the Storage Squad website, they will pick up boxes and packing tape from their area Housing Operations Office. The student will pack and label all items, then simply leave everything stored in their room. Storage Squad will pick up belongings after the semester has ended.
