Relocation budget matters and moving companies are handled by your hiring unit. Please contact the administrative coordinator of your unit for additional information on the current practice in your department.

When moving, please ensure that any essential research materials, notes, papers or books are transported in a secure location.  Confirm with the driver the inventory of these items and the location during the move.
