Move- In Day Schedule
Students are welcome to move in to SJU Residence after 10:00am.
Move-In Process:
Upon your arrival at SJU, kindly call the number displayed on the front door of the residence. A member of the Student Affairs Stuff or SJU Don will welcome you and provide you with your fob. Additionally, carts will be available to assist you in transpoting your belongings to your room.

Due to building use and maintenance requirements, we are unable to accommodate early move in for spring term.
If you are arriving in advance of this date you will need to find alternative accommodations and St. Jerome’s will not be able to support this.
Travelling to Campus
Locating St. Jerome’s:
Address

St. Jerome's Residence can be accessed only from a driveway off Westmount Rd. North (you can't access SJU from the University of Waterloo Ring Rd.). Free parking is available on site during the day.
Should you be arriving with a trailer, please make advanced arrangements with the Residence Team as our laneway and turnaround areas are very limited.

You might want to enjoy a meal with your student either before or after move-in. Waterloo Region has compiled a list of local restaurants and restaurants in University Shops Plaza are very close by.

Residence Move-Out
When to Move Out
-
At the end of each term, you have 24 hours following your final exam or take-home assignment to move-out. In the case that you do not have finals, you will have 24 hours following the last day of class.
-
If you are living at SJU while on a co-op work term you will be expected to move-out upon completing your co-op term or when residence closes, whichever comes first.
How to Move Out
Students moving out of residence must take all belongings with them. This includes situations where a student will return to residence after a term away.
These are the following steps to move-out:
-
Inform residence don of the date you will be moving out (according to stipulations above)
-
Schedule a time for residence don to do to the room checkout form with you.
- You and the don will check room for any damage, missing items, etc.
-
Return fob to residence don upon check-out.
Note: the check-out process and returning your residence fob is mandatory. There will be a $150 charge if you do not complete the checkout process, and a $50 charge for any unreturned fob.
Residence Storage
-
If you are living at SJU for two consecutive terms you will be able to leave your belongings at SJU.
-
If you are living at SJU, and will move away for one term before returning, SJU will NOT store your belongings.
While it may be 'goodbye' from living in residence, you are a part of the SJU community, and are always welcome to remain involved and engaged as an Off-Campus Housing student!
