To receive credit, you must stay until your last exam or project has been submitted. Finals cannot be moved, so make sure to arrange travel plans around your exam schedule.

You'll receive an invitation from Playground (prepforsummer.com) to select a 15-minute move-out slot between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on your check-out day. Look for an email a few days before your departure confirming your move-out time.

You'll need to be packed and ready to move out by the evening before the latest check-out date and time for your program.
