Students living in traditional halls—LeCompte, Corcoran, Munroe, Ozanam, Seton and University Halls—are required to vacate their units no later than noon on November 22, 2023. Personal belongings may remain but access to these halls after noon on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, will not be allowed. It is imperative that move-out deadlines are met due to Winter Break. Residents who do not vacate their residence hall by the deadline will receive a $150 improper move fee.
A few items to note for Traditional Hall Residents:
- You must leave for Winter Break, but are not required to completely move your belongings out of your unit. Please refer to the Fall Quarter Closing Checklist.
- You are not permitted to enter closed residence halls during Winter Break, as your building access will be removed starting at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 22, 2023.
- You should take home all day-to-day items, such as medication, computer/cell phone chargers, and perishable items.
- You must close windows and empty perishables from mini-fridges (if applicable) prior to departing.
- You do not need to turn in your key when you leave. Please hold on to your key during the Winter Break.
- If you do not intend to return after Fall Quarter (i.e., cancel your Winter Quarter housing agreement), you must move out of your unit completely. Please contact DePaul Housing at housing@depaul.edu immediately if you have yet to formally notify staff.

Returning Traditional Hall Residents
Returning residents from traditional halls, i.e., students who lived on campus Fall Quarter and were required to leave their unit for winter break, will be required to check-in prior to arriving to campus - more information will be emailed to students early December.
