Residential Life
 
You must make an appointment with your Resident Assistant (RA) at least 48 hours prior to check-out at the end of the Spring Semester. For check-outs at any other time during the year you must also make an appointment with an RA at least 48 hours prior to check-out. Closing checklists are provided to all residential students before the end of the semester. These checklists provide detailed instructions on cleaning and check-out procedures to insure a successful check-out. If you fail to follow check-out procedures, in addition to any damage found, you will also be charged $50 for improper checkout. By failing to follow the proper check-out procedures, you may forfeit your right to contest any of the above-mentioned charges. If a room or apartment is left excessively dirty at the time of check-out, a resident (or residents) may be assessed a charge of $50 for excessive cleaning in addition to other charges. Additional charges will also apply if you do not return your key and Resident ID card when you check out of your space.
