Check-out Procedures
In order to maintain an atmosphere conducive to academic success, students are expected to leave campus within 24 hours of their last exam each semester or when the residence halls close, whichever comes first. Students who stay after their final exams and cause disturbances in the halls or on campus are subject to immediate removal from the campus and may be subject to further disciplinary action.
Prior to check-out of the residence hall or apartment, each student is required to complete an online express check out form or make arrangements with a Residence Life staff member to have the room checked, the Room Condition Report reviewed and signed, and to return room key(s). If you are completing an express checkout, please place your room key(s) in the drop box located in the lobby of your residence hall. If your building does not have a drop box, please return your room key(s) to a Residence Life staff member or the Office of Student Life. The Residence Life staff establishes a check-out schedule during the last week of classes at the end of the spring semester for such procedures to occur smoothly.
When a student checks out of their room, it is expected that the room’s condition will be the same as when it was moved into, with the exception of normal wear and tear. Any damages to the space or furnishings will be assessed to the student(s) residing in that apartment or room. Please be advised that if you are completing an express checkout, you waive your right to dispute any damages found in the space.
