May Closing Information

Year End Closing Information: This document gives specific details on all the information you need to properly check out of your current housing assignment including dates, procedures, and answers to your most frequently asked questions.  An email will be sent to students in April 2012 which also highlights the time line and the process for moving out of the residence halls in May.

Residential Storage Policy: This page outlines the specific criteria for students who need to store their personal belongings on campus during the summer months.   

Late Stay Request: Some students may have extenuating circumstances that necessitate a request to remain on campus after the facilities close. Students can click the link to submit a request, but each request must then be approved by your RLC / the Assistant Director of Residential Life. Once your request has been submitted, you are to contact your Residential Life Coordinator or Assistant Director of Residential Life to set up an appointment to discuss your request, as each request is considered on a case by case basis. If you are requesting to stay past Monday following Commencement, please note that you will be expected to move to our summer housing facility. Students who are requesting to remain on campus so that they can watch their friends graduate will not be granted permission to remain in their room; we are encouraging students to make alternative arrangements if they wish to watch commencement exercises.
