Moving Out

All move-outs must be completed with an RA, ARLC, or RLC in your area. You must have your room inspected and return your key to avoid improper check-out charges on your student account. Any damages to the unit will be assessed to your account.

Listed below are specific move-out procedures for different scenarios. Because each situation is unique, please contact our office if you have questions regarding the process or applicable fees.

Withdrawing before the semester begins:

  • You must officially withdraw from classes through MyJaxState. Additional information is available through the Registrar's Office.

  • Housing staff will verify that you are no longer enrolled in classes to complete your housing cancellation.

Withdrawing after the semester has begun:

If you withdraw after the semester begins, refunds are processed in accordance with tuition refund policies listed on the Academic Calendar. Residents who withdraw must immediately notify Housing Operations and Residence Life and properly vacate their housing assignment within 24 hours of withdrawal. Residents who fail to properly vacate within 24 hours are subject to a $50 per day hold-over charge up to the full cost of the semester or term.

If you receive an eviction notice, you must move out by the date specified on the notice. If the eviction is due to an outstanding account balance or a lapse in class registration, follow the instructions provided on your notice. If you are able to pay down your balance or register for classes, we encourage you to contact Financial Aid, Student Accounts, or the Registrar's Office to explore options that may allow you to stay enrolled and resolve your account balance.

You will need to provide the Office of Housing Operations and Residence Life with a letter from your academic advisor verifying your reason for living off campus. You will also need to submit the Intent to Vacate form on Roompact.

You will need to provide the Office of Housing Operations and Residence Life with a copy of your marriage certificate. You will also need to submit the Intent to Vacate form on Roompact.

If you graduate before your housing lease agreement is over, you will need to register for graduation by the appropriate deadline. More information can be found on the Academic Calendar. You will also need to submit the Intent to Vacate form on Roompact.

Please speak with Disability Resources to discuss your situation, as accommodations or alternative options may be available to help you remain in housing. If moving out is necessary, you will also need to submit the Intent to Vacate form on Roompact.

If you need to move out for a reason not listed above, please contact the Office of Housing Operations and Residence Life. Visit our Contact Us page to ask questions, find our phone number and email, or connect with us on social media!
