• Make an appointment with your house staff (Housefellow, Floor Governor, or ILC) to check out of your room. Check-out times and dates will be posted prior to the end of each semester. We also ask that students remove all of their belongings from their room prior to their check-out time to help facilitate a timely check-out. If you are leaving at a time when a staffed check out is not available, we recommend you leave your room as completely empty and clean as possible so that when the staff does inspect it, you are not billed for any damages.
• Remove fluorescent stars and/or stickers from all ceilings. Please also remove any adhesive tape, ink or marker writing from your doors.
• Remove any contact paper you have affixed to College furniture. If it is left behind, you may be charged to have it removed.
• Take all cinder blocks home or to the designated area outside of your building. The cost to have them removed from your room or the house is $25 per block.
• Remove all personal furniture and refrigerators. You will be billed to remove each item of furniture.
• Residential Life staff will provide you with an envelope for your room key during check out periods. Please put your key in the envelope and fill out the label with your name and room number. Give it directly to your house staff or slip it under their door. Missing keys will result in a charge of $75 for a lock change.
• Vacuum your room and throw away trash to avoid additional cleaning charges.
• Make sure your common area is clean. Please remove any trash in your kitchen area, lounges and bathrooms to avoid unnecessary clean up charges during the final weeks of the semester.
• If you know who is responsible for damages in your area, please make sure they are taking responsibility for it. Doing so will help to reduce the overall area damage cost billed to students.
