Residence Hall Move-Out Circumstances
- Check-out schedules will be posted by the RA on Reading and Review Day. You must sign up for a check-out at least 24 hours prior to your move-out.
- The check-out process is simple and quick, but very important. If for some reason you are unable to line up a time with your own RA, they will help you set up a time with another staff member.
- 24-Hour Quiet Hours will begin at 10:00pm on the day before Reading and Review Day and will conclude at 6:00pm on the Friday of finals week. These quiet hours are put in place to ensure that residents have the best possible environment to study for and take final exams.
Check-out times are between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
If you need to check out before or after these times, or if you signed up for an extended contract and you will be here past the time the hall closes, special arrangements can be made through your Resident Director.
You must schedule a check-out time at least 24 hours prior to check-out.
Residents who fail to check-out with a staff member will be charged $50, in addition to the cost of key replacement and any cleaning and/or damage charges.
Please know that the Residence Hall Room and Meal Plan Agreement is for a full academic year. Students may be released from their Residence Hall Agreement if they meet one of the following:
- Withdrawing from UND
