Returning Student Move In
The move in day for students who are returning to CBU housing is Friday, January 9, 2026. Students returning to their assigned room for the spring semester do not need to
check in with the Office of Housing Services. You will already have access to your
room starting at 9:00AM.
If you miss your check-in, stop by the Office of Residence Life & Housing in Village
212 before
5:00 PM. If you arrive after hours, call your RA or RD for assistance.
At the end of the semester or when moving out, you must officially complete the check-out
process. According to the Housing Agreement, your space is not considered vacant until
all steps
are complete.
How to Check Out Properly:
- Remove all personal belongings.
- Clean your living space so it matches its move-in condition (excluding normal wear
and
tear). - Confirm you are checking out of housing through the “My Bookings” page on the
Housing Portal
Improper Check-Out may result in additional charges (cleaning, damages, rekeying,
or improper
checkout fees).
Review all move-in and move-out instructions sent by Housing Services via Lancermail—this
will help you avoid unnecessary fines and ensure a smooth process.
