Move Out Dates - Winter 2024

The latest time to move out of residence is 24 hours after your final exam ends, or, by 12:00pm noon on April 27, whichever comes first.

 

Move out extension requests

Student Housing & Residence Life will accept reasonable requests for extension such as international flights. Due to the beginning of summer residence and campus conferences, we are unable to grant requests for extension past April 27 at 12:00pm. This is the very latest time to move out of residence. 

Students requiring housing after April 27 at 12:00pm must make their own arrangements. (Click hyperlinks for nearby and downtown hotel listings)

To submit an extension request:

  • Login to the StarRez Portal
  • Select “Manage My Housing” from the dropdown menu
  • Select your Winter 2024 booking
  • Select the Winter move out extension form 
  • Submit your request by April 1

Donations

At move out, we facilitate the opportunity for students to donate items. Donating your gently used housewares and non-perishable food helps us as a community from adding unnecessarily to landfills.

Through the UTSC FreeStore, we collect houseware items that new students can reuse next year. Additionally, we collect clothing, linens, and non-perishable food to donate to community partners. This will also help you reduce the amount of packing you have to do for move out! 

Donation timelines:

  • Donation bins will be available in public spaces such as all laundry rooms, Foley Hall atrium, and Residence Centre by April 12
  • FreeStore boxes will be delivered to individual Joan Foley Hall and townhouse units on April 8 and 9
