Check-Out Checklist

1. Clean Up

Your side of the room needs to be completely cleaned out and arranged back the way it was when you moved in. Make sure any trash you’re disposing of is in the designated trash rooms. Do not leave trash in the hallways or stairwells. If you’re found in violation of this, disciplinary action may be taken through Student Conduct. 

As you work on moving out, if you find that you have a lot more to take back than your car can hold, we’ve got a solution for you! Donate your items to the University’s Trash to Treasure program.

2. Keys & Mail

When you check out, you will be turning in your room key (if applicable). If you don’t turn in your room key, you will be charged a re-key fee. If you’ve lost your key, please notify your RD ASAP! Make sure your temporary mailing address is updated for any online ordering you’ve done/may do – the Student Union Package Room will be closing Finals Week.

3. Check-Out

Go to RA office to let the RA or RD know you are all set to check out. Turn in room key (if applicable) to the RA or RD. The RA or RD will escort you to your previous room, to complete a brief check-out inspection. If no one is present, please use on of our express check-out envelopes and place the envelope in the designated bin. Travel safely home and enjoy your summer!
