Plan for 2021 spring semester move-out

• Last day of classes: Friday, May 7
• Final exams: Monday, May 10 – Saturday, May 15
• Undergraduate AS&E Commencement: Thursday, May 20

• Students must vacate their on-campus residence 48 hours after their last spring term final examination. Extensions must be approved by a AS&E – Area Office/ ESM – Student Living Center. Graduating seniors may remain until noon Monday, May 24, 2021.
• Students with an active Summer 2021 housing contract may remain in their current room until their summer room is available for occupancy. Students will receive this information from the summer housing program.
• Students working on campus for a University of Rochester department or program (such as Event and Classroom Management, Wilson Commons Student Activities, Athletics, Dining Services or other programs supporting Commencement) may stay through residence hall closing on Monday, May 24, at noon. Residential Life must receive a roster of these student employees directly from the department or program that employs the students.

Read and follow all specific instructions that you receive from your Area Office.

When you are ready to leave, please pack all of your belongings, remove all trash and put it into the appropriate trash room or dumpster. There is no on-campus storage available for student belongings. Do not leave any personal belongings in your room, whether or not you believe some future resident may like to have these. Anything left behind is considered abandoned property and you will be charged for its removal.

Similar to move-in in August and January, students may have one family member assist them with moving out. If more than one family member comes to campus, the others must remain outdoors, with the vehicle.

Students and family members are expected to maintain social distancing and wear a mask at all times while on campus. Family members will not be required to show proof of testing or vaccination.

During Commencement weekend, all ceremonies are restricted to graduating seniors and participating staff members only.  Family members may not attend Commencement ceremonies. The campus remains closed to visitors.  Family members who are assisting with move-out may only be in the area of the residence hall that the student is moving out of.

Once you have cleared your room of all personal belongings and trash, you must check out by leaving your keys in the appropriate location:

All check-outs are “Express” meaning that you will leave your key(s) in a labeled envelope and deposit the envelope in the location designated by your area office.
