It has been quite a year for you and your student with unprecedented challenges, but also amazing demonstrations of community, pulling together, and helping each other make it work. And that includes student residents of Michigan Housing.
Now that the Winter Term is coming to a close, we offer the following helpful tips for making the ‘move out’ of undergraduate residence halls a smooth, safe transition. Here’s what you need to know:
The essentials
-
Move Out dates -- Residence halls close on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at 12 p.m. If your student needs a later move out date due to a religious or cultural accommodation, they should contact [email protected]
- Packing -- Complimentary packing boxes are available at your community center for your student’s use. They can stop by and pick some up while supplies last. If your student would like to hire a service to help with packing and shipping or storing belongings, John’s Pack n Ship can help. All personal belongings need to be removed by May 1, 2021 at 12 p.m.
-
Rentals -- If your student has rented an appliance for your room, contact College Products to make arrangements for the pickup of the appliance.

Where to?
Please have your student update their address on file with Michigan Housing and any subscription services and vendors they regularly conduct business with. To provide Housing a forwarding address, your student can follow the link on the Housing page and select “My Addresses” from the left menu.
Don’t waste, donate
U-M’s Student Move-Out Donation Program encourages your student to donate lightly used items instead of sending them to the landfill. Look for the yellow collection boxes in their residence hall. Please separate donations according to type (food, clothing, shoes, bedding, household items) in the designated boxes. Materials are picked up by U-M Waste Management Services, sorted, and donated to local non-profit organizations.
New for spring 2021: Housing is partnering with Student Life to collect donations for Maize and Blue Cupboard. Your student can place donations of canned and dry goods, cookware, and personal care items in the designated yellow collection box.
