Move Out

Juniors must submit the following form to indicate whether or not they intend to move out of their residence hall on Wednesday, May 21 OR Friday, May 23. Juniors who do NOT wish to participate in Commencement exercises must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC between 1:00pm and 5:00pm on Wednesday, May 21. Juniors who wish to remain on campus after exams to participate in end-of-year activities and Commencement exercises must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC prior to 2:00pm on Friday, May 23. 

Seniors must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC prior to 2:00pm on Friday, May 23.

During the week leading up to move out, students will have specific tasks to complete each day to ensure that they will be ready on the day they move out. The Final Week Checklist will be posted on the door of each room and will be checked each night by their CC. Please note that students will NOT be permitted to attend hall or campus events until their CC confirms that all tasks have been completed.

Once a student is ready to check out, their CC will stop by their room and confirm that they have properly followed all Checkout Procedures. Please note that the student and a legal guardian will both need to be present to sign the Room Condition Report to complete the checkout process. Once all checkout procedures have been completed, the student will immediately leave campus. Students who check out prior to Friday, May 23 may return to campus for the Commencement ceremony ONLY and should not return to campus for any other reason.

For the MODS: Residents have been asked to sign up for specific time slots in which the CC will be ready to complete the final room inspection to formally check out.

Commencement

Please join us as we graduate our 44th class of residential students on Friday, May 23rd at 9:00am on Watts Lawn. The ceremony is open to NCSSM seniors and their families. We welcome the junior class to participate in Commencement, though junior attendance is not mandatory.  No tickets are required UNLESS inclement weather necessitates moving indoors. If Commencement is moved indoors, each senior will receive 4 wristbands: 2 wristbands for guests to attend Commencement in the Charles Eilber Physical Education Center (PEC), and 2 wristbands for guests to watch the Commencement livestream in locations around campus: the Auditorium, Lecture Hall, and Music Suite. If the ceremony is moved indoors, juniors (outside of Marshals and those performing music) will not participate in the ceremony and will move out of their rooms. Juniors and their families will be able to view livestream of Commencement from off campus. As a reminder, all students must move out of their residence hall rooms and check out with their CC no later than 2 p.m. on Commencement day. The entire event will be livestreamed on the NCSSM YouTube Channel. For more information about Commencement please visit: https://www.ncssm.edu/commencement
