End of Year on Hall

• I am nothing if not sentimental. So, we have LOTS of big hall-specific events to help us wrap up and reflect on our year together! We have a trip to Falls Lake to enjoy a day of relaxing before exams, a hall family dinner scheduled, and ice cream floats to help us stay a-FLOAT during exams! We will be doing paper plate awards, recognizing how each of our residents contributed to the community this year. With the spirit of healthy competition, we will be doing the NCSSM version of the Newlywed Game - The Roommate Game - to see which pair (or triplet) knows their roomie(s) the best! And of course, our hall mascot, Trixie, has her birthday this month, so we will celebrate with a puppy party! If you are interested in supporting any of our end-of-year events, please reach out!
  
  

Move Out

• Juniors who do NOT wish to participate in Commencement must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC between 12:00pm and 5:00pm on Thursday, May 23. Juniors who wish to remain on campus after exams to participate in end-of-year activities and Commencement must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC prior to 2:00pm on Saturday, May 25. Due to the many end-of-year activities, staff will NOT be able to move out any students on Friday, May 24. Juniors who have not submitted the following form must do so as soon as possible to inform Student Life of their intended move out date.

• Seniors must move out of their residence hall and check out with their CC prior to 2:00pm on Saturday, May 25. Due to the many end-of-year activities, staff will NOT be able to move out any students on Friday, May 24.

• During the week leading up to move out, students will have specific tasks to complete each day to ensure that they will be ready on the day they move out. This Final Week Checklist will be posted by each room and will be checked each night by their CC. Please note that students will NOT be permitted to attend hall or campus events until their CC confirms that all tasks have been completed.

• Once a student is ready to move out, their CC will stop by their room and confirm that they have properly followed all Checkout Procedures. Please note that the student and a legal guardian will both need to be present to sign the Room Condition Report. Once all checkout procedures have been completed, the student will immediately leave campus. Students may not stay in another student’s room or lounge. Students may only return for the Commencement ceremony, if they choose to do so.

• Students and families should review all documents to prepare for move out and consider taking items home over weekends to make this process even easier. Students are also advised to return to campus with boxes to pack their belongings.

• All Juniors should indicate what time they would like to complete their move-out on the form they submitted. I will confirm all move-out times the day before move-out! If you want to move-out before Thursday the 23rd, please reach out to me to set up a time to complete your check-out process. 

• Seniors may move out either before or after commencement on 5/25. I can be available for check-outs as early as 7:30AM. Everyone MUST be out of the buildings by 2:00PM on May 25th!

Commencement:

• Please join us as we graduate our 43rd class of residential students on Saturday, May 25th at 9:00am on Watts Lawn. The ceremony is open to NCSSM seniors and their families. We welcome the junior class to participate in Commencement, though junior attendance is not mandatory.  No tickets are required UNLESS inclement weather necessitates moving indoors. If Commencement is moved indoors, each senior will receive 4 tickets: 2 tickets for the NCSSM Eilber Physical Education Center (PEC),  and 2 tickets to livestream locations around campus: the Auditorium, Lecture Hall, and Music Suite. If the ceremony is moved indoors, juniors will not participate in the ceremony and will not receive tickets to the PEC or reserved livestream locations. Juniors and their families will be invited to livestream the event from other locations. As a reminder, all students must move out of their residence hall rooms and check out with their CC no later than 2pm on Commencement day. The entire event will be livestreamed on the NCSSM YouTube Channel. For more information about Commencement please visit: https://www.ncssm.edu/commencement
