Fall 2024 Move-out Details

• 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 20, 2024 at 12:00 p.m.; whichever comes first.
• If you are NOT returning to campus housing for the spring semester, you will need to submit a Spring 2025 Housing Release Request form via MyHousing, if you have not done so already. More instructions can be found here.

**IMPORTANT**

• The last meal plan service for the fall term is lunch Friday, December 20 with Glassworks Eatery at Holly Pointe Commons closing at 3 p.m. Dining Dollars will carry forward from the fall to the spring term, and Rowan Bucks remain active from year to year until graduation. The Owl’s Nest in the Chamberlain Student Center will be open for lunch most weekdays 11am - 2pm during the break period (except December 19 – January 5). The spring meal plan begins Saturday, January 18.
• Over the Winter Break, certain building services, such as maintenance to common area restrooms and lounge spaces will be reduced. Students that remain on campus should be cognizant that various maintenance and housekeeping focused projects may be taking place within their residence halls. For any rooms or apartments with an existing vacancy, or a newly created vacancy because a roommate is moving out at the end of the term, Housekeeping and Maintenance staff will need to enter the space to clean and get it ready for a potential new Spring resident.
• Also, be advise that for each residental halls/apartments there would be a limited amount of CA's that would be here for the duration of winter break.

BUILDING REMINDERS:

• RLUH staff will be performing closing walk-throughs of all rooms and apartments throughout Winter 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. For more specific information on why and when, click the above link.
• 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.

The Residential Learning and University Housing office will remain open during the Winter Break. Feel free to contact us via phone at 856-256-4266 or via email at housingquestions@rowan.edu.
