Spring 2024:

Please refer to your UCF email. Detailed instructions and expectations regarding cleaning and check-out are emailed to all residents.

Final Exams and Quiet Hours

  • The last day of classes is Monday, April 22, 2024
  • All residence halls and apartments will have 24-hour quiet hours beginning Monday, April 22, 2024, and ending Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
  • Final exams will occur Wednesday, April 24, through Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

Per your housing agreement, Annual residential communities (11.5-month agreement) will remain on, but for residential students graduating or NOT staying for Summer A, B, or C, you will need to vacate by noon on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, or by noon on Sunday, May 5, 2024.

Per your housing agreement, you must vacate your assignment within 24 hours following your final class if you have no exams. For those with exams, you must move out within 24 hours after your last exam or by noon on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, 12:00 pm (noon), whichever comes earlier. Please schedule your Move-Out Appointment through the housing portal.

Failure to properly clean your space, remove all belongings and trash, and turn in all keys can result in charges posted to your student account.


If you are moving out:

  • Community move-in/out equipment is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents will sign out equipment from their community office.
  • Residents are responsible for removing all belongings and trash from their rooms. Dumpsters and recycling bins will be available in all communities.
  • If any of your unwanted items are still in good condition, Donation Bins will be located around various locations in each community.  
    • You can find a list of what can and cannot be donated at UCF Housing on Instagram.
    • If an item is too large to fit in the donation bin, please leave it next to the bin and contact a housing staff member. 

Move-Out Room Inspections

Housing and Residence Life staff will conduct move-out room inspections during your Move-Out Appointment. Please prepare your room for this inspection by following all guidelines in the Community Living Guide. Violations may result in disciplinary action and fines charged to your student account. Charges may be assessed for failure to remove trash from your room, suite, or apartment. During the inspection, staff will not allow residents to continue packing or removing trash. When finished they will collect keys and lock the room/apartment.
