• What are important dates to remember?

  All students are required to vacate the residence halls within 24 hours after their final exam concludes, or no later than 9:00 a.m. on Friday, June 14, 2024.

  Residents may be help accountable if they do not vacate when residence halls and apartments closed, including being referred to the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities (SRR).

• How do I check out of my room?

  Express Check Out is available for all residents living on campus, offering flexibility for both students and staff.

  Before starting your Express Check Out, keep these points in mind:

  • Pack up and remove all your belongings from your room.
  • Clean your space and make sure to remove all belongings and trash.
  • Report any damages that occurred during your stay.
  • Your room/apartment will be inspected after you move out, and you'll be charged for any damages, missing items, or cleaning needed.
  • Charges for damages, missing items, or cleaning that no one claims responsibility for will be divided equally among roommates.

  When you're ready to check out:

  1. Visit your Residence Hall Front Desk for an envelope.
  2. Put your keys in the envelope and seal it.
  3. Fill out your name, ID number, room number, and check-out time.
  4. Sign the envelope and return it to the Front Desk Assistant or Drop Box.

  Please note:

  Charges for any additional damages found after check out will be billed to your student account.

  • You'll be charged for each day until Housing receives your keys.
  • Make sure you've received approval from Housing and Residential Education to break your housing contract.
  • You're expected to move out within 48 hours of receiving approval.
  • Clean your room/apartment and common spaces thoroughly to avoid cleaning fees and damage charges.
  • Pro-rated charges and any associated fees will be processed within 3 business days.

Completing your express checkout envelope might seem like a small task, but it can make a big difference. By thoroughly filling out the envelope, you ensure a smoother and faster process for checking out of your room. From minimizing potential fees to expediting the return of your security deposit, attention to detail now saves you time and hassle later. Take a moment to complete it thoroughly.
