Dear ...,
We hope you are doing well and staying safe at home during this uncertain time. We miss you and the wonderful energy and engagement you bring to this campus. This is not how any of us imagined this semester would go and we are thankful to our residents for working with us to help ensure the health and safety of our entire campus community.
Our residence hall move-out process was discontinued on March 25 to be in compliance with state directives. We realize this change was sudden and may not have allowed you to make it back to campus to move out.
If you still have belongings remaining in your residence hall, we are developing a move-out plan to employ once the State of Maryland deems it safe to travel.
We are exploring several possible options for move-out including:
- Scheduled move-out appointments to return to collect your belongings,
- A "proxy" process that would allow someone else, perhaps a relative or friend in the area, to come to campus to pack and remove your things, and
- An option that may allow you to contract with a vendor to pack and ship your belongings. We have a number of vendors who have existing agreements with the University that could provide this service if requested.
We are working to refine these details and explore other potential options for residence hall move-out and we are committed to keeping you updated. We continue to monitor developments closely. Once we are informed it is safe to travel and for you to return to campus to collect your belongings, we will notify you of the details of the move-out plan. We appreciate your continued patience.
If you have already moved all of your belongings out of your residence hall room, please complete the Self Check-Out form to update your status, if you have not already done so. The form will include instructions for returning your room keys.
The health and safety of our residents remain our highest priority. Please know we care about you and are here to support you. If you need anything, have concerns or additional questions, please reach out to us at drl-adops@umd.edu.
Please continue to take care of yourself and be well and safe.
