Students may select one of the two methods available for checking out of their housing assignment: Staff Check Out:
All belongings and trash/recycling must be removed from the space before a staff member can check you out.1.) Reserve a time to check out with an RA prior to you leaving. Ask an RA or AC/RD if you need help.
a. If the available check out times do not fit with your schedule, you may make a special arrangement with your RA at least 24 hours prior to you leaving. b. If the available check out times do not work with your schedule AND the RA is not available for your special check out time, you will need to use the Express Check Out option.
2.) Go to RA Staff Office in your Hall lobby during your Check Out Reservation.
a. Weekdays, in your hall’s office: 10:00am to 5:00pm & 9:00pm to Midnightb. Weekends, in your hall’s office: 9:00am to Midnight
3.) Go to your room with the RA for a preliminary inspection.4.) Complete any paperwork needed with the RA.5.) Return your key(s) to the RA. Resident Advisors (student staff members) cannot and will not guarantee that a student moving out will not be billed for any damages found in the room. Only professional staff members are able to make this determination during their final walk-throughs of each room in al residence halls after all residence have left for summer break.
Express Check Out:If a student is not able to make a Check Out Reservation that works with their schedule, or if they’d rather leave without engaging with staff, they may do so by using the Express Check Out process as follows:1.) Remove all personal belongings, and trash/recycling from the housing assignment.2.) Clean the housing assignment.3.) On the last trip out of the residence hall, pick up an Express Check Out envelope from the Express Check Out box in the lobby of your residence hall.4.) Complete all information on the Express Check Out envelope.5.) Put your key(s) in the envelope, seal the envelope, and drop the envelope in the Express Check Out Box.Students who use the Express Check Out Option waiver their ability to appeal and damage billing that is applied to their account after moving out.
IMPROPER CHECK OUT:Students who do not check out with a staff member AND do not use the Express Check Out option will be billed an Improper Check Out Fee of $25 and a fee to change the lock on their former housing assignment and replace their key(s). This will be added to their damage billing and cannot be appealed.
Housing Assignment Damage Billing:Damage Billing may be applied to a student's account if their housing assignment is left in such a state that required additional labor or materials to clean and make move-in ready for the next student living there. Damage billing is determined appropriate by the Professional Staff members who inspect all housing assignments after all students have moved out for the summer break. Overall damage costs are established by the Department of Facilities Management, and applied to a student's account by the Office of Residence Life. Resident Advisors (student staff members) are NOT able to determine if a student will or will not be billed, therefore If it is unclear which student is responsible for damages in a housing assignment, all students living in that space will be charged equally to cover that cost. The charges can later be appealed by the students in that space as long as it's then determined who is solely responsible for the damages and the responsible party absorbs the cost of labor and materials.
Community Wide Damage Billing:If community shared spaces are found damaged, all students living in that area/floor/residence hall will be charged equally to share the cost of labor and materials needed to restore damages. These charges cannot be appealed unless an appeal determines exactly who is responsible.
What Are Common Damage Bills:
Damage billing includes but is not limited to the above. Other damages may appear on a student bill if the professional staff inspecting the space finds it necessary.
How to Avoid Being Billed:
When Will I Find Out About Damage Billing:Students who are charged for damage billing will be notified via AIC email by May 14th.
If I Receive a Damage Bill, Can I Appeal It? Students who are charged for damage billing but know that they are not responsible for the damages AND they can identify a specific individual who is responsible, they will be able to appeal the damages via the Damage Billing Appeal Form. All appeals are required to be submitted no later than June 7th.STUDENTS USING EXPRESS CHECK OUT: The ability to appeal damage billing is waived when a student uses the Express Check Out option, as agreed to on the Express Check Out envelope used to turn in housing assignment keys.
