To ensure a smooth transition to your new location, we ask that you follow the below instructions when preparing to move and start the packing process:

  1. Please use the labels provided to indicate the exact location you are moving to, for example L-155E. Place the label on the upper side of the box for easy identification on moving day. One piece of tape is sufficient to close the box top lid.

  2. Please refrain from marking directly on the moving boxes. Use a piece of paper to note contents and place securely on the box. As campus moves are on-going, the boxes you use today will be used again for another move. Your department will be credited for all viable boxes returned.

  3. All boxes must be closed properly, and no items may protrude from the top of the box to increase the box capacity. This will allow assembly of full loads of boxes onto the dolly and moving carts.

  4. The Facilities staff has been instructed NOT to move any personal items. Personal property will need to be transported by its owner.
