Move-Out

Refer to the residence hall opening and closing schedule for this year's undergraduate and graduating senior move-out dates.

Check-Out Process

The check-out process for all residential students is in the closing email shared with students. To properly check out of your residence hall, you must completely remove all belongings from your room and return your key to Residence Life & Housing. Failure to turn in your key will result in a re-key of the room and a $100 re-key fee.

Undergraduate Move-Out

All non-seniors need to check out of their room within 24 hours of their last exam or by 12 p.m. on undergraduate move-out day, whichever comes first. No exceptions. You will be charged $100 per hour after 12 p.m. if you do not leave by the hall closing date. More specific information about move-out is emailed to students' Loyola email prior to move-out. This will include any area-specific information.

Graduating Senior Move-Out

The residence halls close promptly at noon the day following graduation day for seniors. All residents will be expected to remove themselves and their belongings from their room (and building) by this time. No entry will be allowed after 10 a.m. on this day. No exceptions. You will be charged $100 per hour after noon if you do not leave by the closing deadline. Residence Life & Housing strongly encourages residents to move out prior to graduation. Please utilize "finals week" to pack and prepare for move-out. We want you to be able to enjoy graduation day, and the day will be easier if you take some time during the week to clean, pack, and prepare for closing. In past years, residents who have moved out Friday night and returned their keys before graduation on Saturday have had a relaxing and celebratory graduation day. We highly encourage you to take this opportunity so that you can celebrate without the stress of moving out. More specific information about move-out is emailed to students' Loyola email prior to move-out. This will include any area-specific information.
