Move Out

Sun Devils! Don’t know where to start on move-out plans? Well, you’re in the right place! The time to begin arranging your move-out has come. If you are making trips home prior to move-out, consider taking some items with you to minimize the stress of move-out in May. 

Remember: 

Your license agreement that you signed at the beginning of the academic year with University Housing, is ending in May 2024. Preparing for a successful move-out requires planning and having the right information. Be sure to connect with your hall staff for any questions or concerns that you may have. 

If you are not enrolled in classes and living with us for Summer 2024, you will need to check out of your room no later than noon on May 4, 2024. 

To ensure a smooth and efficient move-out, reference the Spring Move-out Guide. 

Charges will be assessed for damages and cleaning, if applicable. 

To complete the check-out process, you must: 

• Attend your hall’s mandatory closing floor meeting for more information on checkout procedures
• Properly dispose of all perishable items/trash and recycling 
• Rooms are to be deep cleaned 
• Doors are to be shut and locked! 
• Check and empty mailboxes before leaving 
• Defrost the fridge at least 24-48 hours prior to your departure 
• Unplug everything in your room, except for your refrigerator
• Fridges are to be emptied out of all food and thoroughly cleaned
• Leave any vacant bed spaces in your room/suite clean and unoccupied of your personal belongings 
• Please check in with your Community Director or Community Assistant to schedule a check-out time 
• Return your mailbox key to the UPS Store, if applicable, prior to checking out
• Return your room key

24 Hour Quiet Hours go into effect at 9 p.m. on April 26, 2024

Bike Tagging
Items eligible to be donated:

• Bike tagging will be taking place immediately after move-out
• Please make sure that you take your bike home with you
• All bikes left behind will be impounded as abandoned property during the bike sweep

• Books, hangers and storage bins
• Clothing, shoes and accessories
• Linens, drapery, towels, bedding and stuffed animals

Items to address before leaving and turning in your keys:

• Return all borrowed items to the front desk
• Submit a mail forwarding request on MyASU

There are financial consequences if the proper checkout procedures are not followed. Your room condition will be assessed based on the Room Inventory Report that you created at move-in.

Students who are responsible for damages to a room, furniture or any part of the residence hall will be billed directly for repairs, missing keys, excessive cleaning, or missing furniture or equipment in May 2024. If the damage is a shared responsibility, see your Community Director for specific instructions. End-of-term damage assessment notices are emailed to your @asu.edu email address. Damage assessments are billed directly to your MyASU student account.
