For residents of the university's International Lodge, submit a Notification of Departure one month prior to your planned departure. If you live in non-university housing, you also need to contact utilities companies (gas, water, and electricity) to terminate the service.
• If you are an ISSP employee, submit the "Contact Information after Resignation" form and other necessary documents, if any, to the administrative office.
