UNT and TWU move-out in Denton: December and May

Leaving a UNT or TWU residence hall or Denton apartment? Start with your actual housing deadline, then plan packing, building access and your own transport. December and May need different checklists, and campus housing rules are not the same as an apartment lease.

Check official schedules before choosing dates

For December, confirm whether your housing agreement requires you to leave at the end of the fall term, whether you can return after the break, and what checkout steps apply. Do not assume every resident has the same deadline or access during the break.

For May, check the current spring move-out instructions, your final exam schedule and any approved later checkout. UNT and TWU publish their own requirements; confirm the deadline for your hall and circumstances rather than relying on a date from a previous year. Off-campus residents should check their lease end date and key-return appointment separately.

Match your package to the rooms you are packing

Use these package sizes as starting points, not a guaranteed count. A dorm room with mostly clothes and linens needs a different plan from an apartment with a full kitchen, books and hobby equipment. For a shared apartment, decide which roommates are packing into the same order and count common-room items once.

  • Dorm / Studio — 10 totes; 1 week included; $89. No dolly included.
  • 1 Bedroom — 20 totes + 1 dolly; 2 weeks included; $115. Black 4-wheel dollies included as listed.
  • 2–3 Bedrooms — 40 totes + 1 dolly; 2 weeks included; $209. Black 4-wheel dollies included as listed.
  • 4+ Bedrooms — 60 totes + 2 dollies; 2 weeks included; $239. Black 4-wheel dollies included as listed.

Apartments, elevators and loading areas

  • Ask your residence hall or leasing office about allowed moving hours, elevator reservations and any loading-area booking. Confirm the same details at your next address.
  • Reserve a permitted loading area if your building requires it. Keep fire lanes, accessible spaces, entrances and pedestrian paths clear; do not assume curbside parking is allowed.
  • Check the route from your room to the vehicle before packing. Note door widths, steps, uneven paving and whether the elevator will be available during your move.
  • Use a black 4-wheel dolly on level, firm surfaces and in permitted elevators. Keep stacks low enough to see ahead, follow the equipment's load limit and never roll a loaded dolly down stairs.

Pack and carry safely on stairs

  • Spread books and dishes across several totes so each tote stays comfortable to lift. Cushion fragile items and keep heavy items below lighter ones.
  • Snap each yellow lid fully closed before stacking. Put heavier totes at the bottom, align the bases and keep stacks stable without blocking exits.
  • On stairs, carry one manageable tote at a time, keep your view clear and ask for help when needed. Move the empty dolly separately between floors.
  • Label each tote for its destination room. Keep medications, identification, chargers and checkout documents in a bag you carry yourself.

Plan empty-tote delivery and pickup around your move

Choose a drop-off date that leaves time to pack before your confirmed checkout deadline, and a pickup date after you expect to finish unpacking. STORVA delivers empty reusable 27-gallon black totes with yellow snap-on lids and the dollies in your order. You handle packing and transport; we collect only the empty equipment.

Delivered on your selected date, by 10 PM. Deliveries are contactless, so no one needs to be home. Confirm a permitted drop-off spot with your building, and have the empty totes and dollies ready by 8:00 AM on your selected pickup day. Both addresses must be in the DFW service area.
