New Self-Checkout Process

We’re excited to let you know about a new step in the process that we’re introducing for all residence hall students this year — a Self-Checkout via the myHousing portal.

All residence hall students are required to log in and complete the Self-Checkout. It’s quick and easy, with just three simple steps. Students will receive an email with these instructions.

Step 1: Complete the Moove-Out Checklist. Students should make sure they’ve finished everything on the list before they begin the Self-Checkout.

Step 2: Enter their Student ID Number. This confirms that they’ve completed all of the items and have fully moved out of their room.

Step 3: Click Complete Self-Checkout.

Important Note: Once they complete the Self-Checkout, access to their building/room will end immediately. They should make sure that they have fully moved out before starting this final step. Students will receive a confirmation email once their Self-Checkout is complete.
