No. The State of Illinois is under a Shelter in Place order as mandated by Governor Pritzker. Eastern Illinois University is complying with this order and as such cannot offer move-outs from on campus residences at this time. Updates regarding a move-out process will be communicated as we are able.
All students who currently are no longer residing on campus as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic will be provided a prorated credit to their university account for the time period from March 23rd through the remainder of the semester. The credit will be first applied to any balance on the account, and then a refund check or direct deposit for any excess credit will be sent to the student’s permanent address in late April. For additional information on signing up for a direct deposit, students can visit eiu.edu/busofc/bursar_directdeposit.php. Dining Dollars not yet used will be rolled over to the 2020-21 school year.

Yes, please use a certified letter or courier service to track the envelope. We recommend you wrap the key in something like a napkin or several sheets of paper and tape the corners of the envelope, so the key doesn’t poke through the envelope and gets lost.
