Additional Details
Update your mailing address
To change your mailing address, log in to UT Direct, modify your address and then select “Update This Address.” Please be sure to check your mailbox before departing campus; once 2400 Nueces closes at 9 a.m. on closing day, you may no longer pick up mail from the hall. After closing day and for a period of 30 days, only first-class mail will be forwarded to your new address. Also make sure to update your default address with external companies that may continue to ship mail to you (i.e., magazine subscriptions, Amazon packages, etc.).
Loading zone passes
Limited 30 minute loading zone spaces will be available. A limited number of carts will be available for check out. Make your move easier by bringing your own cart.
Closing day
2400 Nueces closes on Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 9 a.m. There will be a fee starting at $50 per hour if you do not vacate by 9 a.m.
Bike storage
Make sure to remove your bicycle from the 2400 Nueces storage room prior to your departure.
Ensure that bed spaces remain vacant
Once a bed space is vacated in your apartment, 2400 Nueces staff will come check within 72 hours that the space has been properly vacated. These apartment visits generally happen on two occasions: when a resident has recently moved out of a room within your apartment space or because items obstructed our staff’s ability to check a vacated bed space during their inspection.
Room inspections are very brief and only to ensure that a former resident has removed everything from their room and bathroom. You are not required to be present for the inspection. Once inspections are completed, please note that our building services team will enter the apartment within a week to clean the space and fix any damages found in the inspection.
If you have any questions, please direct them to the 2400 Nueces team or call 512-232-7517.
