Events
Move-in day for spring term is Sunday, January 5, 2025
You may arrive any time on Saturday, January 5, 2025
Move-In Process:
Returning for winter term (you lived at SJU in the fall term) - just return with your fob in hand and tap it at a hotspot! Access to the building will be reinstated on January, 5, and there is no need for any formal check-in process.
New to SJU for the winter term - Phone the don on-call phone number posted on the outside of the Ryan and Siegried residence. The don will bring you to your residence room, instructor you to SJU, and give you your residence fob/key.
The Meal plan will begin with dinner on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
The residence will be fully closed over the holiday season and personnel are not on site. This is a much needed break and recharge for our residence life and facilities stayy. SJU is unable to offer early arrivals for students in the winter term. Students who arrive to Waterloo in advace of January 5 must find other accommodations.
We will be looking for you and would like to hear from you if you will not be returning on January 5. All late move-in requests must be submitted using the "Late Arrival Form" on eRezLife. This will allow us to prepare for your return to residence, and the don on your floor will schedule a time to connect regarding your missed floor meeting and all residence roundup.

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.
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:
-

-
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.

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!
