Move- In Day Schedule  

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.

 

Meal plan: 

The Meal plan will begin with dinner on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

Early Move-In

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.

Late Move-In

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.

Travelling to Campus

Locating St. Jerome’s:

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. 

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: 

  1. Inform residence don of the date you will be moving out (according to stipulations above) 

  1. 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.  
  1. 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! 

  

The Upper Year Handbook is a resource for you, compiled by students who've been where you are now and where you are headed. We get it, this time is all at once nerve-wracking, new, and exciting; and we want to offer you the best advice we can from the experiences we've had.
