Returning Student Move In
The move in day for students who are returning to CBU housing is Sunday, September 6th, 2026. Students will be required to attend the drive-thru check-in process from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the East Parking Structure near the Adams entrance.

If you miss your check-in, stop by the Office of Residence Life & Housing in Village 212 during normal business hours on Monday, September 7th.

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.
