If you intend to unenroll from DePaul and/or cancel housing outside of the Spring Break timeframe (March 18-24, 2023) or well before the first Spring Move-Out date (June 2, 2023), please follow instructions on the Cancellation webpage and email housing@depaul.edu​ at least 72 business hours (about 3 days) prior to the intended move-out date. ​​

Moving Carts

Residents may sign out moving carts for move-out assistance. The cart sign-out is located in the Munroe Hall foyer (2312 N. Clifton Avenue) and carts will be available during the following dates/times for resident use:​

  • Friday, June 2 through Sunday, June 11 
  • 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Moving Assistance

Professional moving assistance is NOT available when moving out. Beginning Friday, June 2, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m., residents will have the option of issuing visitor wristbands to up to two (2) visitors who are actively involved in their move-out. The wristband will allow your two visitors to go in and out of the building without needing to be signed in and out each time. All visitors are required to show a valid state- or government-issued ID and have a resident present before being issued a wristband. This option may only be used once by each resident. 

For on-campus residents interested in storing their belongings until the start of fall quarter, check out the Summer Storage section below which introduces DePaul Housing’s approved vendor, Storage Scholars.

Summer Storage

Before Spring Quarter move-out, on-campus residents may be interested in signing up with DePaul Housing’s summer storage partner, Storage Scholars. Storage Scholars is a vendor who provides students:  
  • ​Boxes and supplies to pack personal belongings. ​
  • In-room pickup and delivery to an insured, temperature-controlled warehouse near campus for summer storage. ​
  • Redelivery of items directly to the student’s new room or apartment at the start of fall quarter—doesn’t matter if their new residence is on- or off-campus! 
Storage Scholars is a great option for all, but especially for out-of-state or international students who return home just for summer break. To learn more about this approved vendor, including pricing, visit the Storage Scholars—DePaul University webpage. 

Elevators & Access Doors

Elevators and access doors will be available in each hall during the same timeframe as the moving carts.  The two halls with freight elevators (not typically turned on) are Seton Hall and University Hall. Access doors are in the Sanctuary Complex. ​

Parking Information

Issued visitor wristbands also include one day of complimentary on-campus parking in the Sheffield Avenue parking garage, starting Friday, June 2, 2023, through Saturday, June 10, 2023. Only pre-approved seniors are allowed to move-out and access free garage parking as late as Sunday, June 12, 2022. There are certain street locations that have free parking as well. Please be mindful of city metering, tow zones, no-parking areas and street signage. There is no parking available for trailers on university property.​
