Move-In and Move-Out are two of the biggest times of the year for Penn Housing, and we’re here to make the transition easy. Planning ahead is a good way to successfully meet academic demands while organizing to move in or our of your residence.

Plan Ahead
Timeslots & Guest Passes
Residents will need to sign-up for a 2-hour timeslot for Move-Out via MyHomeAtPenn starting on April 19. As you select your timeslot, please make sure to note what assistance will be available that day (see section below).Only one guest will be allowed to accompany and assist your move-out. You can register your guest via the RHS Portal on April 19. The guest pass can be delivered via text. The guest pass is only valid during your two-hour timeslot. You and your guest will need to wear a face covering when on campus and in your residential building. Your guest will also need to do the PennOpenPass verbal attestation process to enter your building.
Packing
Early preparation for this year’s move-out is key for ensuring a smooth move-out experience. The 2-hour timeslot is firm, and we will not be able to grant extensions for students or their guests. You should have a majority of your packing done prior to your timeslot and your guest arriving.
