Housing and Residence Life does not provide storage options. However, if you’re an international student, the Office of Study Away and International Education provides some options.

Remove all personally owned furnishings and belongings from your room. Our office is not responsible for items left behind. Residents will be charged for the removal of any property.

Remove trash from your room and transport it to the appropriate dumpster. Do not take the recycling bin provided by the university, or you will be assessed for the cost.

Remove adhesive products from any surface within the apartment. Be sure to examine and remove residue from the front door, windows, balcony and patio area.

Clean your room or apartment thoroughly. This includes micro-fridges, suite bathrooms, cabinets, and drawers. The walls, ceiling, trim, mini blinds and furnishings should be free of dust and dirt.

Shower units should be washed and soap scum buildup should be cleaned. We recommend Tilex soap scum remover. Do not use abrasive cleansers on acrylic surfaces.

Temporary fixtures, such as mirrors or shelf lining, should be removed.

Carpeted areas should be vacuumed and stain free, while tile floors should be swept and mopped.

Once you are ready to leave, return your key(s) by completing an express check-out envelope. Seal your keys in the envelope, and place the envelope in the key drop box, which is available 24/7.

Express Check-out Drop Box Locations:

South Housing: Outside Poteat RA Office

Clark Murphy Complex: On the right as you enter the lobby from the Judson Circle entrance
