Move-Out

Move-Out Date

Friday, June 14, 2024 at 12 noon all undergraduate residential facilities close. 

Note: Students may be asked to move out at an earlier date if all spring quarter finals are completed.

Move-Out and Commencement: Beginning Friday, June 14, access to and from campus, and parking availability, will be greatly impacted by the visitors arriving to celebrate their graduates. If you are moving out this week, it is recommended that you move by Thursday, June 13 if at all possible. 

Move-Out To-Do

To ensure a successful move-out, please begin to organize ahead of time, communicate with friends and family about moving assistance, and complete the Move-Out To-Do List.

Complete the Express Checkout Form when you are ready to leave campus.

Need to stay after the move-out date and time?

Students who have a valid need to remain in residence the weekend following finals may request a late checkout through the Housing Portal. More about late checkout and the end of the academic year »

Note: Current spring quarter residents who will be staying on campus in summer housing need to submit a late checkout request in order to remain in your current residence until you can move into your summer assignment on Tuesday, June 18.

Suggestions:

  • Begin to organize. Think about what you need for spring (do you need boxes, can you move some items early), what friends might be interested in, what needs to be recycled, or what can be donated.
  • Stop purchasing items you use infrequently. Common items in the trash at move-out are partially used condiments, cereal, and pasta purchased late in the quarter.
  • Remove recyclables early. Recycling bins overflow during move-out. Clearing out extra papers and accumulated cans and bottles early can help reduce clutter and leave room for last-minute recycling.
  • Swap items with friends. Check in with hallmates and other friends and see if anyone is interested in that sweater you haven’t worn since last winter, the books for classes last year, or that extra water bottle. Be creative, talk to your Res Life staff about organizing a local swap event.
  • Packing and early moving. Pack items you don’t usually use and, if possible, take some home early (like Memorial Day weekend). Taking items home early means the rest has a better chance of fitting when you move in June.
  • Special recycling. Return compost buckets to Housing Facilities. Wood, metal, rigid plastic, and household chemicals can be recycled. Contact ches.ucsc.edu/cruzfix or call 459-2663 for more information.
  • Donate what you can. Goodwill partners with us to redistribute used household items. Unopened, non-perishable food donations will be distributed to on-campus food pantries.
  • Clean and sort your electronics. Mini-fridges need to be defrosted before you move them – ask your RA/NA where you can do this. Request a pick up of unwanted electronics at ches.ucsc.edu/cruzfix, and note if it works or not, to help us in our reuse/recycling process.
  • Clean what you can. Vacuum your room before finals. By finals week the vacuum may be broken or missing. Make sure drawers are emptied. Do not repair minor damage. Notify Housing Facilities at ches.ucsc.edu/cruzfix of major damage.
  • Take the rest home. Items left are thrown away, adding to the landfill in a process that has led to injuries to staff and student workers.
