As we enter the final stretch of the semester, we encourage all students to begin preparing for end-of-year closing. All residential buildings will close for non-graduating students on May 7 at 12:00 p.m. (noon).
In the coming weeks, you’ll receive additional details about move-out procedures, including expectations for cleaning your space, returning keys, and completing Express Checkout. Planning ahead will help ensure a smooth and efficient departure process.
If you anticipate needing additional time beyond the closing date, be sure to review the Late Stay policy and procedures.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us close the academic year safely and successfully—we appreciate all you’ve done to contribute to our residential community this year!

What to do when it happens |
Every active shooter/person with a weapon incident is different. You will need to quickly assess the situation and select the best course of action. If you become aware of an active shooter, you have three options: RUN, HIDE, or FIGHT.
|
If you become aware of someone in your building who has a firearm and is shooting or threatening to shoot:
|
-
Evacuate the building immediately if you can do so without putting yourself at risk. Leave your belongings behind.
- Notify anyone along the way to get out.
- Take shelter in another building or leave campus if you can safely do so.
- Call the emergency contact number for your location:
- Danforth Campus: 314-935-5555
- School of Medicine: 314-362-4357
- North/West/South Campus & Tyson Research: 911 then 314-935-5555
|
If you become aware of someone in your building who has a firearm and is shooting or threatening to shoot:
|
- Lock yourself inside a room and move furniture in front of the door.
- Cover the windows and turn off any lights.
- Silence your mobile device(s).
- Do not answer the door for anyone.
- Ignore any fire alarms, as they may be a trick to draw people into the open.
- Call the emergency contact number for your location:
- Danforth Campus: 314-935-5555
- School of Medicine: 314-362-4357
- North/West/South Campus & Tyson Research: 911 then 314-935-5555
|
As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, try to disrupt or take down the shooter:
|
- Act as aggressively as possible
- Throw items at the shooter
- Yell
- Look for items that could be used as a weapon
- Stay committed to your actions
|
What to do when it happens |
- Remain in your safe location until instructed otherwise by law enforcement officials.
-
Provide all requested information to law enforcement officials.

Avoid using magnetic card holders, sleeves, or phone cases for your WashU ID and Room Key Cards. The magnetic material can damage the technology in your cards, causing them to stop working and potentially locking you out of your room. To keep your cards working properly, store them in a non-magnetic holder or wallet. In the event that your WashU ID stops working on any Residential Life facility, stop by the nearest Residential Life office for assistance.

|
|
| If you have any emergency maintenance need, please let your RA or RCD know. If you are unable to quickly find an RA or RCD, please call WashU Police at (314) 935-5555.
Emergencies include things like overflowing water, leaks, lack of heating/AC, no power, or clogged drains.
For all other maintenance issues, please submit a Maintenance Request →.
