Students who have been approved to change rooms must completely vacate their current assignment by 2:00pm on Thursday, March 14. There are two options available to meet this deadline:

1. Students who have been approved to move in with peers who are already established in a room may move items directly into that space before departing campus for break. Please leave your items packed, labeled, and towards the perimeter of the room. You will not receive a key to that room until the start of next term. Students can begin moving to their new room as early as reading and exam days.
2. Utilize student storage. View Available Open Storage Hours to coordinate your departure. Students moving into a single room or into a fully vacated space must use storage.
