Just like the move-in process, we want to make your move-out process as smooth as possible. In most cases, you must be completely moved out of your room and complete the checkout process prior to noon on the final day of your housing contract. Late stay options may be available at an extra cost and must be approved. Check your Purdue email and direct questions to your hall front desk or resident assistant (RA).
Effective May 8, 2023, if your assigned hall's main office is closed, please use the following location for business/check-out needs:
- Cary covers for Cary, Hilltop, Owen, Tarkington, Village West, Fuse, and Cedarwood
- Frieda Parker covers for Frieda Parker, Winifred Parker, Honors, Windsor, Wiley, Waldron Square, 125 Waldron, 19 Waldron, and Russell
- Meredith South covers for Meredith South, Meredith, Earhart, and First Street
