Moving Out

Summer residence closes on Thursday, August 1 at 4:00 PM EST.  

All students are required to check out of residence by August 1, 2024.   

Move out procedures 

Please ensure the following move out procedures are adhered to: 

  1. Clean your room of all garbage, recycling and personal items. Your room must be clean and your furniture returned to its original configuration. 

  1. Ensure your window is closed, lights are off, and door is locked. 

  1. Drop off your keys and fob (room, suite key if applicable & mail key) at the Housing Service Centre South (in Lady Eaton Annex) or Service Centre Durham.  

 

Note: If you are moving out when the Service Centre is closed, please drop your keys off at the afterhours key drop boxes at the Service Centre. You must scan the QR code at the drop box and complete the form before placing your keys in the check out envelope and dropping them into the drop box. 

Failure to complete any or all of the above steps, may result in an improper checkout charge of $125. Failure to return keys will result in a charge of $300.  

An inspection of your room will be completed by Student Housing staff once you have departed from residence to assess the cleaning conditions and identify any damage or maintenance concerns. Additional charges related to the cleanliness or condition of the room or contents, or any damage, may be added to your student account. 

If there are any belongings left in your room after you move out, they will be disposed of during the cleaning process so please ensure you remove all belongings when you leave. Additional fees may apply if items are left behind in your space.  

Should there be any charges to your student account, you will receive an email by Friday, August 23rd outlining the charges. After reviewing your letter, if you would like to appeal any of the charges, you will be required to follow the instructions provided in the email.
