Move Out
Spring 2024 Move-Out Information
Your housing agreement is for the full academic year, ending May 2023. First-year students, sophomores, and juniors must depart by 12:00 PM on Thursday, May 16th, 2024. You may choose to leave earlier than this if your course schedule and course requirements permit.
Graduating seniors must move out by 12:00 PM on Monday, May 20th, 2024.
Preparing for a successful move-out in May requires planning and having the right information. To reduce the stress at the end of the Spring semester, be sure to connect with your RAs/RLCs prior to closing.
Please plan accordingly when making travel arrangements.
Students who do not complete the check-out process and vacate by the deadlines noted above will be charged a $150 improper check out fee and an additional daily rate per day for each additional day they are on campus. The residence halls and apartments are used throughout the summer, so our facilities, custodial, and operations teams all rely on you to check out on time to do their work.

Extended Stay
What is Extended Stay?
Extended stay is the period between the residential spaces closing and graduation, and/or summer move out. Students who are living on campus for Summer 2024 must complete an extended stay request if they will be remaining on campus during these dates.

Ditch the Dumpster
Ditch the Dumpster @ Move Out and Donate Instead!
We are partnered with the Office of Sustainability for Ditch the Dumpster @ Move Out and Donate Instead! (formerly known as Give Leave)
The objective of this program is to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and support local communities through our donations. Each year as CC students move off campus, they realize they have accumulated more 'stuff' than they need or can transport back with them. Many of these items end up in landfill when they could have been recycled, composted, or donated!
For questions about Ditch the Dumpster, please email sustainability@coloradocollege.edu

Colorado College does not have storage for residents on campus.
