Students who need summer school housing may apply until May 1st. Remember that you must be enrolled in a summer OR fall course to live in summer school housing.

Students who have applied for summer school housing will stay in their current room space until Friday, May 17th. On that day, you can pick up your keys from the La Plata front desk for your summer school room in Crestone and begin transitioning to your new room assignment over the weekend. Your move must be complete, and room keys to your old room space must be returned to the front desk by Monday, May 20, at 5 pm. If you are not here during this time to move your belongings, you will need to completely remove all belongings before the 17th and then move back in to your summer school space when you return to campus.

Note for Summer School residents: It’s unlikely, but we’ll email you if your room is available earlier than the 17th.

All students must move out by the last day of finals week at Noon unless they have submitted and received approval for a Late Stay. 

Late Stay Request Form

Move-out appointment

A maximum of 3 days after check out date is permitted. Late stays will incur a charge of $40 per day.

Students must either sign up for a move-out appointment or select the express option.

•  Log in to your StarRez Portal using the following link to sign up for a move-out appointment.

•  Click the "appointments" link in the menu.

• Select an appointment time that suits your schedule for moving out, as you will need to have everything out before your inspection.

• Be sure to click the buttons at the bottom of the screen until you reach the “Appointment Confirmed" screen.

• Be at your suite and ready to check out a few minutes before your appointment time. An RA will meet you there.

• Be ready to turn in your keys at your move-out appointment.

• If you cannot find a move-out appointment that fits your needs, you will need to complete an "express move-out" at the Monarch front desk for Summit Village or the La Plata front desk for Alpine Village.

If you are not staying for summer school housing, you must remove all of your belongings and depart campus. No summer storage option is available since every room will be utilized for summer conference housing. Check out our Ditch-the-Dumpster page for unwanted items. 

Remember that the last person to move out of a suite or apartment is responsible for ensuring the common areas are clean. If your apartment or suite is not cleaned upon move-out or trash is left behind, your entire suite will be charged for cleaning.

• Instead of checking out with an RA, residents can complete an Express Checkout form. 
• The resident waives the visual walkthrough for damages and cleaning with staff by completing an express checkout. 
• The resident also waives their right to appeal for any cleaning charges noted by either the RA or Residence Life professional staff. 
• If the resident does not complete an express checkout, the resident will be charged $50.00 for an improper checkout and the fee for room and mailbox keys.

Mail and package pick-up will end for the Spring term on the last day of finals week at noon. Please plan accordingly. Any packages or mail pieces delivered after the last day of finals  will be returned to the sender or forwarded to your chosen forwarding address if you submitted one through StarRez. Any packages delivered over the summer cannot be forwarded. You will need to make arrangements to get your package or it will be returned to the sender. We will not hold packages over the summer. Students attending summer school will continue to receive their mail and packages from the La Plata front desk as usual.

If you need your mail forwarded over the summer, please submit your mail forwarding address utilizing the Mail Forward address form on the Housing Application Portal.

VAV Residents

Beginning Monday, May 6th, Parking Services allows special parking accommodations for move-out at certain areas of campus from 8 am – 10 pm. These special parking accommodations are valid from Monday, May 6, 2024, at 8 am to Sunday, May 12, 2024, at 10 pm. If you need to park close to your dorm room to move out, please follow the rules below:

• Friends and Family may park their vehicles on level 4 of the Alpine Garage without purchasing a parking permit or paying for hourly parking.
• You may park in a 5/15/30-minute loading zone for up to 1 hour to move out between 8 am and 10 pm. You may never park in a disabled space without a state-issued disabled permit.
• You may park on the Cucharas/LaPlata side of the VAV pedestrian spine for up to one hour between 8 am and 10 pm.
  • The VAV Pedestrian Spine is a fire lane; thus, a minimum of a 12-foot roadway must be maintained at all times on the south side (Crestone side) of the sidewalk for fire department access. Anyone not parking on the Cucharas/LaPlata side of the sidewalk will receive a $140 fire lane citation. Parking on the spine will only be allowed 8a-10p and will be strictly limited to just one hour.
• Parking in a posted fire lane (other than the Pedestrian Spine as described above), loading dock, roadway, or disabled space without a state-issued handicap permit, or any other reserved space will not be allowed at any time and will result in a citation.
• On Friday, May 10th, Saturday, May 11th, and Sunday, May 12th, there is no campus-wide parking permit requirement. During these days, you may park in any regular permitted space on campus without having to have a permit or pay for parking.

Many students will need to use these areas for move-out, so please be respectful of each other and abide by the parking rules, especially not staying in loading zones for longer than one hour. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Parking Services.

**All residence hall students must schedule a move-in appointment. **

A move in appointment is a 60 minute time slot during which you should stop by your designated check in area to pick up your keys and other supporting information. This appointment is for key pick up and information only. You can then move in at your convenience after you pick up your keys.

In order to provide you with the best arrival experience, there are a limited number of move-in appointments available on each day. Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once appointments during a designated tome are filled, Residence Life staff are unable to add additional appointments.

Residence Halls (Village at Alpine and Summit Village)  move-in will take place between Monday, Aug. 19 - Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024

Alpine Village Apartments (Antero, Crestone, Shavano) move-in will take place between Friday, Aug. 23 - Sunday, Aug. 25, 2024

If you are part of a special population that needs to arrive to campus early (sports teams, student employment, international students, ect) we can offer the ability to arrive early to campus on a limited basis. We can accommodate an early arrival as early as Friday, August 9 for special circumstances at the cost of $40 per day (up to 3 days), or $125 (4 days to 1 week). We do not offer free early arrival for any student population, but some campus departments will offer to pay for students they require to return to campus early.
