All personal items must be removed from the room during your move out.Please pack your belongings in stackable boxes or containers, minimizing the number of loose items.
Please be aware that once you have moved out, Knox Residence will discard all articles remaining in your room or common areas. We strongly suggest that you perform your own thorough room inspection to look for forgotten articles.
If you have not checked out of your room and removed your belongings by 3pm on April 30, 2024, your ACORN account will be charged to reflect your extended stay at Knox Residence.
Secure your room
Please close all windows, remove garbage, turn off the fan and light, and close your room door. By securing your door you are ensuring that your bedroom is exactly as you left it for your post-move out room inspection.

Important information
Complete this form by Monday April, 11, 2024 to notify the Knox Residence Life team of your move out date and time. Please note that Knox Residence asks that residents move out 48 hours from their last final exam with the final date to move out of Knox Residence being April 30, 2024 at 3pm.
Reporting your move out date through the form will allow the team to understand how to best support you with your move out process and for you to note if you will need to use the elevator and/or a cart (subject to availability).

Start packing at least a week or two in advance so you don’t have to do it all on the last day. To ensure a safe and efficient move, please pack your belongings in stackable boxes or containers, minimizing the number of loose items.
Make your travel and storage arrangements for your personal belongings ahead of time. If you will be living at Knox Residence for the 2024-2025 academic year, but not during Summer 2024, you will need to make alternative arrangements (e.g., Store Your Dorm) for storing your belongings.
Dons will not be assisting with lifting or moving any items, so please be proactive in reaching out to family members, friends, and/or professional movers to help you move if you need help to move your belongings.
After moving your belongings and vacating your room, please return your key to the key collection mailbox (in the mail area, near the St George entrance) upon checkout to avoid any additional charges.
Please be sure to update your mailing address on ACORN and with other important contacts. As of April 30, 2024 mail and packages received for non-residents will be returned to sender.
You may wish to schedule a pre-move-out inspection. The pre-move-out inspection is entirely voluntary. Its purpose is to identify any obvious damages as well as to advise you about how to avoid extra cleaning charges. Inspections can be scheduled via email (maintenance.knoxresidence@utoronto.ca). It is suggested that the inspection be scheduled a minimum of one business day prior to move-out date. Please note: inspections can only take place on a business day (Monday – Friday) so please plan accordingly.
Do not remove the 3M Command Strips from your walls, our maintenance team will remove them.
