All students should arrange a check out time with their RA at least 24 hours in advance of their departure. RAs are students with finals too, so it is important to set up a mutually convenient time. (Failure to check out properly and return keys result in an administrative fee for Improper Checkout.) If you are not returning for the Fall, please make sure to fill out a request for the return of your security deposit; if you do not fill this out, you may not receive your deposit.

By choosing Express Check-Out, you are waiving your right to contest damages and cleaning charges. Therefore, we strongly recommend you follow the traditional checkout method.
It is important you follow the instructions above. We do not want to charge students for failing to take responsibility in properly checking out and/or moving. However, due to time constraints, we have no choice but to assess clean up and damage charges for students who fail to check out and/or move properly.
