Move-Out Tips

Garbage

Trash bags may be obtained from your RA. All trash is to be taken to the outside dumpsters. Place furniture and other large objects you are going to throw away beside the dumpster.

Bikes

If you have a bike chained to a bike rack, don't forget to take it with you or move it to Noren Hall if you are staying for summer school. Bikes left after the end of the academic year will be removed by the University.

Suite Cleaning

If you live in a suite, the housekeepers will not clean your bathroom during finals week unless you make arrangements with your BST.
