Residence Life: Check-In/Check-Out Information

Check-Out Guidelines & Details

All end-of-the-year check-outs begin by making an appointment with the Resident Director. If you do not schedule a check-out time, the Residence Life staff will not be available to help you. If you are checking out before the end of the semester or academic year, you must complete a Housing Contract Release Request Form. Releases are granted based on specific policy considerations.

In order to have a successful check-out, the following must be completed:
  • All tape, nails, hooks, etc. should be removed and floors vacuumed/swept.
  • All drawers, cabinets, closets and trash should be emptied and cleaned.
  • The room should be in the same condition as when you checked in. Any damage that can be attributed to the resident will be charged against the security deposit.
Spring Check-Out Dates

Check-out Appointments will be available beginning on April 29 and will end on May 2. If you will be participating in Commencement exercises on May 3, the final day for a check-out appointment will be Sunday, April 4. Each Resident Director will have a check-out schedule posted on their door two weeks before the first available check-out appointment. Make sure to schedule early so you get a time that best fits your schedule.
