Start packing at least a week or two in advance so you don’t have to do it all on the last day.

Students will be permitted to have a maximum of 2 family members/helpers for the duration of their move-out only.

For students moving out on May 1, you will not be required to register helpers as visitors.

Start packing early, do a little bit every day to avoid stress.

Keep in mind you will NOT be able to re-enter your room after check out.

Make sure you have transportation planned for when you leave Chestnut, as you will need to take all your belongings with you.

Transportation options include the Union-Pearson (UP) Express to the airport, TTC, taxis, or Uber

Ensure your room is tidy and all garbage is removed.

Garbage bags are available for students to pick up at the Front Desk.

Once your garbage bags are full, leave the bags at the designated garbage area on your floor.

When possible, throw out your garbage early so that the garbage room doesn’t get crowded.

Don’t leave behind any food, garbage, or other items.

You may be subject to a $50 – $100 cleaning fee for any items left behind in your room.

Chestnut residence does NOT provide summer storage.

If you require storage, you may want to consider using:

Store-Your-Dorm 

Shuffle Space 

Plan ahead and sort all of your belongings into items you want to bring with you/store/giveaway.

Chestnut will not be responsible for any items left in the room.

Make sure to exchange contact information with anyone you would like to keep in touch with over the summer and next year.

Say goodbye to your friends on the floor and in the building, and don’t forget to connect with your don!
