Fall Move-out Details

Winter Break Begins Friday, December 18th at 12:00 PM
  • If you are returning to the same housing assignment for the spring semester, you do not need to completely remove your belongings from the room and you will keep your key (where applicable) with you over the break. DO NOT LOSE YOUR KEY!! Lost keys will result in a lock change charge upon your return in the Spring term.
  • Unless you have registered to remain in your Fall housing assignment over the Winter Break and have been approved to stay over the winter break, you are required to leave your campus residence within 24 hours of your last final exam or no later than Friday, December 18 at 12:00 p.m.; whichever comes first.
  • If you intend to leave campus housing for the spring semester, you will need to submit a Spring 2027 Housing Release Request form via MyHousing. If you are approved for a Housing Release, you must also remove all of your belongings from your Fall housing assignment no later than Friday, December 18 at 12:00 PM. Students approved for a Housing Release and unable to move out by the deadline can complete a Late Stay Request in Myhousing.

 Break Housing Intention Registration Form:

  • Log into MyHousing
  • Click on the “Housing Applications & Forms” tab 
  • Select the Winter Break Housing Intention Registration

BUILDING REMINDERS:

  • RLUH staff will be performing closing walkthroughs of all rooms and apartments leading up to and throughout Winter break; even if you intend to remain in the space for the entirety of the break. The main reasons for completing these site visits are for building safety and security, but also to prepare for the arrival of any new residents moving into any vacant housing assignment.
  • If you are currently living in a double occupancy bedroom with no roommate; that may change for the spring semester. You are expected to clear your belongings from the second set of furniture and make sure the furniture is completely accessible so that a new roommate will have a smooth transition to campus.
  • Likewise, if there is a vacancy in a multi-bedroom apartment, please be considerate of a potential new apartment-mate and be sure to clean the common areas and bathrooms to make for a welcoming environment.
  • RLUH staff will be inspecting these spaces over the break to ensure the rooms and apartments are ready to receive newly assigned residents, and vacant furniture and bedrooms will be cleaned by housekeeping staff.
