If your student lives in University Housing, please remind them of a few steps that need to be completed before they leave campus.
Instructions are available at Undergraduate Move-In and Move-Out.
Residence halls officially close 11:00 AM on Friday, May 3, 2019. Students who need to extend their stay need to apply by Monday, April 29, 2019.
Before departure, students should return their space to the way they found it when they moved in.
- All the furniture that was in the space when your student arrived needs to be returned to that space before they depart.
- All other items should be removed:
- Usable items that your student does not want can be donated by placing them in designated bins.
- Cardboard and other items that can be recycled should be placed in recycling bins.
- Students who are selling items online can use the Safe Zone Exchange to complete transactions. This is an area where students and community members can safety meet, located near the U-M Police Department to ensure security in the case of an emergency.
- Unwanted medications should be properly disposed of - see Safe Medication Disposal.
- Trash should be picked up and properly disposed.
Other helpful tips:
- Students should check for mail and packages before they leave, and update their address in Wolverine Access so that mail delivery will continue.
- If you have a bicycle, please take it with you. Unfortunately abandoned bikes left in the racks over summer will be collected by the Division of Public Safety and Security.
- For assistance with storage and shipment of items back home, connect with John’s Pack and Ship.
- Submit a FixIt request for any damage in the space to help ensure unnecessary charges are avoided at the end of the year.
- Turn off the Microfridge, which will be picked up after your student’s departure.
- Blue Bucks left in your account will automatically carry over from term to term. You may request that your remaining balance be credited back to your Student Account by emailing [email protected].
After this is done, you and your student can rest easy and look forward to another year at U-M!
