Moving Out

Residents must properly complete a checkout at the time they vacate any student housing unit or any time they move into a different space. Improper Checkouts will result in a $50 fine which will be noted on the damage summary. Proper check-out procedures will be communicated to all residents by their area Area Coordinator.

Summer Move-In

Summer Housing for all students is consolidated into one residential area each year for maintenance and cleaning purposes. The Summer Housing location for 2025 is Bluebell Court. Family Housing remains in Sunflower Court.

Please take a moment to view our Virtual Tours for a better idea of what your space may look like this summer.

The Department of Residence Life areas have several soda/pop and snack machines located in various areas: Homer Butler Commons has a vending area with both soda/pop and snacks for sale in the kitchen; both residence halls have a vending area located on their 1st floor, Founders Residence Hall has an additional area near the Esports & Classroom Lounge; Lincoln Residence Hall has an outdoor vending area near its patio seating area; and Marigold Court and Pennyroyal Court have a vending area located in their laundry rooms.

Trash and Waste Removal

Townhouses and Apartments

The Department of Residence Life contracts trash removal services with Waste Management of Illinois. Each court has an enclosed corral located near it where large waste receptacles (dumpsters) can be found.  Trash is collected by Waste Management two to three (2-3) times per week depending upon needs of the area. All trash from student residencies should be placed, not thrown, in these large dumpsters. All trash must be in securely closed trash bags. Trash is never to be left outside of the apartments unattended for any length of time.
