Winter 2008 Move-Out
Residence Hall and Northwood III Apartment Closings

Residence halls and Northwood III will be closing for summer vacation on Saturday, April 26 at 11 am. Residents must vacate their residence hall or apartment by this time. Spring/Summer Term housing information is available.

Dining Services During Final Exam Period
Special dining hours and locations will be in effect during final exams. Please see the Residential Dining Services and Retail Dining for specific times and locations.

Checking Out of University Housing Facilities
Residents will be provided move-out guidelines by their residence hall or apartment staff. Check out includes turning in all University Housing-issued materials, including keys and keycards.

Extended Stays
Extended stay in the residence halls and Northwood III beyond Thursday, April 26 is no longer available. Contact your Office Coordinator if you have questions.

Residence Hall Loft Removal
Residents must take down and remove any loft that was personally or commercially built (i.e., any loft that is not appropriately configured from Building Block Furniture) prior to the beginning of 24-hour quiet hours.

We encourage residents to consult recycling posters regarding disposal of loft materials. See the Student Move-Out Guide from Waste Management Services. Residents may contact one of the commercial vendors (American Loft, Ann Arbor Lofting Co., Maize and Blue Loft Company) who installed lofts earlier in the academic year to inquire about disassembly services.

Rental Refrigerators
It is the resident's responsibility to return any refrigerator she or he has rented from University Housing to the designated storage area in the residence hall prior to moving out. Residents will receive instructions for returning refrigerators from their residence hall.

Bicycles
Residents must remove their bicycles from University property when moving out. Abandoned bicycles will be collected by the Department of Public Safety and eventually sold if not claimed within 30 days. University Housing does not have storage available for bicycles. John's Pack and Ship can be contacted regarding storage .

Parking and Traffic During Move-Out
All City of Ann Arbor parking regulations will be in force as residents move out of the halls and apartments.

It is important to keep track of all belongings while moving out. We ask that students not leave vehicles unattended and that someone stay with items left in rooms or hallways. Moving carts and laundry carts or similar equipment for transporting students’ belongings to their vehicles will be available from residence hall and the Northwood Community Center front desks.

Damage Assessment
There may be some situations where damage is found during the move-out process. Residence hall policies and procedures regarding damage billing can be found in the Community Living at Michigan page. Northwood IIII students may also refer to the Northwood III Community Living at Michigan.

Move-Out Recycling Information
Students who are moving out can recycle or donate many unwanted items and materials, including clothing, unopened food, and wood from disassembled lofts. Waste Management Services makes it easy with recycling containers, donation containers and “take it or leave it” areas at the residence halls. Northwood residents can donate items by placing them in the marked donation bins in parking lots NW1, 10, 12 and 21. There's more information at the Student Move-Out Guide site, and students can send specific questions to recycle@umich.edu .
