Spring Move-Out

All students must vacate the residential facilities no later than Sunday May 15, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Failure to be out by this time may result in fines and conduct violations.

Be sure to review your Move-Out Responsibilities.

The end of the year will arrive faster than you realize. It’s never too early to make travel arrangements if you haven’t already done so, gather boxes, plan for shipping or storing items, and talk with family or friends about moving assistance. 

If you have any questions, please contact your housing Unit front desk or RA.

Moving Out Early 

If you are moving out during non-business hours, please obtain a Check–Out envelope from the Unit Office.

• Fill out the requested information

• Place your key(s) in the envelope, seal it, and put it in your unit's Key Drop Box (or, for residents of Enclave and Panoramic Berkeley, place your key(s) in an envelope with your name, SID and room number, and slide it under the door of your building’s leasing office.)

• Lock change and/or lost key charges may apply if all keys are not properly returned.

Graduating Students

Graduating seniors may be allowed to stay in housing depending on the date. You may need to relocate into a specified, centralized location. Late stay requests related to graduation should be brought to your unit-level front desk/ office with proof of graduation ceremony day/time.

Summer Sessions A/A&D Housing

Those currently living in housing and attending Summer Session A or A&D may be able to stay in housing between May 16 through May 23 for a fee. You must be able to move into your summer space as soon as it’s ready to be eligible for this option.

If you are in need of either of the above accommodations, you must contact your Unit front desk by May 1, 2021, and provide proof of commencement or Summer Session attendance. Approval of extended housing must be obtained well in advance of Move-Out, and failure to do so may result in an unauthorized Late Vacate charge.

Keys and Room Inspections

All keys must be returned to your Unit office no later than 10 a.m. on May 15, 20212.  Failure to return all keys issued to you will result in a charge for the locks to be changed ($75 to $100 per key or lock).

Unit staff will inspect all rooms after the last resident vacates. Any damage, trash removal, and/or cleaning charges will be assessed back to the room residents. Please speak with your RA about any damage that you caused and need to be billed for. Otherwise charges will be split between roommates.

Recycle & Donate

In the weeks leading up to Move-out, you can donate your gently used items and unopened, non perishable foods through the Cal Move-Out program. Our goal is to prevent thousands of pounds of waste from entering our landfills.
