Check-in/Check-out Procedures

Check-in Procedures

Students are responsible for reporting any damages on the room inspection form at check-in. You are responsible for the condition of your room. You have ten (10) days after check-in to report any damages in the living unit that are not noted on the original check-in form. After that time, the residents of the living unit will be responsible for any damages, missing furniture, etc. It is your responsibility to communicate with the Resident Director. In addition, you are required to complete an emergency contact card. Both the check-in form and emergency contact card should be turned into your resident director within two days after check-in.

Check-out Procedures

Check-out sign-up sheets will be posted outside hall staff rooms. All students must sign up for a time with a staff member. Each resident must officially check out of his/her residence hall room with either a Resident Assistant, the Assistant Resident Director, or Resident Director. All housing keys must be turned in at check-out time. Non-return of keys will result in a $100.00/key charge.

Post Office keys are not the responsibility of Residence Life and must be returned to the Post Office once a student no longer lives on campus.

Fines will be assessed after the Resident Director does the final walk-through. Your room will be checked for any damage or missing furniture when you terminate occupancy. The University will not be responsible for any personal property left behind when you move out of a unit.

The Resident Director or Assistant Resident Director of each building will assess any fines the week following check-out. You are responsible to report any damage to the staff before you check out or note any damages on the check-in/out form. If rooms are not cleaned, specifically swept, vacuumed, mopped, and dusted, a cleaning charge will be assessed. All students that do not check out properly with a staff member will be assessed an improper check-out fee of $50.

End of the Year Check-out

All residence halls close at 12 p.m. the day after the last day of finals (typically Friday); unless a student is graduating or participating in the graduation ceremony (band, choir, etc.), those students are permitted to stay until Sunday at 12 p.m. upon verification of participation. All students must be out of the residence hall at that time or there will be a $50/day charge.
