Moving out
STEP BY STEP ROOM CHECK OUT
This process is conducted through a scheduled appointment between the resident and a staff member. In the appointment the staff member will review the condition of your room, and collect your key(s). By using the traditional method of checkout you reserve the right of appeal for any damage charges.
This process offers you the opportunity to complete the check out process on your own. This option places a greater responsibility on you to complete the process correctly. By using the Express check out option, you acknowledge your responsibility for any room damage charges found by a hall staff member after you check out. Students do have the right to appeal the charges.
