Moving Out
Here Are Important Reminders
Get Approved to Move Out
Make sure you are approved to move out. Approved reasons include withdrawal from NDSU or movement to an NDSU apartment. If you aren’t sure if you are approved, please check with your hall director for clarification.
Check Out Time
Schedule a time to check out. Connect with your RA, or stop by the hall office in your building during regularly-scheduled hours (6- 9 pm).
Back to Condition Before Moving In
Before your scheduled check-out, move all your belongings and clean the room back to the condition it was in when you moved in.
Checking Out With an RA
At your scheduled check-out time, the RA will review the condition of your room and compare it to the condition you reported at the time of move-in. You will be assessed charges for any damages or missing/broken items. Return your keys to the RA and sign a couple of check-out forms.
You will leave your forwarding address with the RA staff during checkout. All first-class mail is forwarded by hall staff for one year. Magazines are forwarded for 60 days. Inform all mail sources (Example: credit card companies, magazine subscriptions, etc.) of your new address. DO NOT contact USPS to arrange for the forwarding of your mail. Use Campus Connection to update your mailing address with NDSU – this will be the default address used by the University, so make sure it is accurate.
