What to plan for Move-out!
Expected Move-out dates
All students are required to move out 24 hours after their last exam, as defined by the ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Undergraduate & Graduate Academic Calendar. Students staying for the Full Academic Year (Sept - April) will be expected to move out in April. They will not be expected to empty their bedroom during the Winter break.
Students applied for a single semester (September Only, January Only, Spring intersession, Summer intersession) will be expected to move out at the end of that semester.
- If the student wishes to extend or cancel their application without possible fee penalties/forfeitures, they must email housing@unbc.ca by the designated semester deadlines found on our Housing & Residence Life Fees web page.
Make your Move-out easier by planning ahead:
- Review the Move-in/Move-out section in our Residence Life Handbook
- Follow our Move-Out Checklist
- Start planning your packing one month earlier
- Pack and clean as you go to avoid stress
- Start spending a few hours a week packing and cleaning
- Begin donating and throwing out items you won't be taking with you
- Take out your trash and recycling regularly
- Return your Parking Pass to the Housing Office (drop box available 24/7)
- Make sure that all furniture (including recycling bags) is in its proper location
- If you need some items shipped home or stored until next year, look into student oriented shipping/storage companies. (i.e. College Boxes)
