Spring Closing 2024

In order to complete your move and check out from a residence hall, you must return your key* to your hall staff and have them complete a Checkout Confirmation for your room. 

First Year Students are required to complete a checkout in person with their RA. Students should contact their RA at least 24 hours prior to schedule a checkout appointment.

Non-first year students may either checkout in person with an RA or may complete an express checkout envelope** found at your hall’s front desk. 

*Students assigned to Stuen or Ordal halls do not receive physical keys upon move in and should not turn in their LuteCard upon departure from campus. If you were given a key by Campus Life due to a faulty card reader, you must return your key upon checkout. 

Please refer to Campus Life’s Fines and Fees Structure for findings and damages an RA will look for during their checkout inspection, along with the corresponding fee associated with each finding. 

**Please note that students who opt for the Express Checkout Envelope method of checkout waive their right to rectify or dispute any finding of items, dirty surfaces, damages and/or discrepancies that the RA reports in the checkout confirmation and will be held to any fines and fees corresponding to those findings.

Students who are not approved for Extended Stay and have not checked out by 6:00 pm on May 26th will be charged a $75 late checkout fee, along with an additional $50 charge for each hour after 6:00pm until checkout is complete. 

Move-in formation specifically refers to the height student beds are lofted to. If you have either lofted your bed  on a single bed frame or checked out additional loft kit supplies to heighten your bed, you must (1) Return the loft kit you checked to the loft kit room in your building and/or (2) Return your bed to the lowest setting that the bed can be set. 

Instructions and information on lofting beds can be found here on our website. Ratchets needed for tooled beds in Harstad, Hinderlie, Kreidler, and Stuen Hall can be checked out at hall front desks during operating hours.

Yes. PLU has student storage rooms available in all residence halls. Students should store their belongings in the hall they will be living in next academic year. Storage guidelines can be found on our website and outline items that students may and may not store in storage rooms. Any items that do not meet the storage guidelines will be refused or, if found during the summer, are subject to be removed and discarded by our staff.
