Residence halls open and close on the dates posted on the academic calendar. Students are not permitted to arrive early. Students are expected to pick up their room key at identified check-in date and location. Students are expected to vacate their rooms by the scheduled date and time, and leave them in clean condition, with debris placed in proper receptacles. When making travel arrangements for the end of the semester, remember that rooms must be vacated 24 hours following a student’s last final exam, or by the posted closing time, whichever comes first. It is each student’s responsibility to find alternative housing for the times the residence halls are closed. Students must check out with a Resident Assistant and follow all communicated closing/checkout procedures.
Failure to complete a proper checkout with a staff member will result in a $200 improper checkout fine and a $100 charge for a lock change. In addition, the student is responsible for the costs of removing belongings left in rooms, hallways and lounges. All such charges will be added to the student’s account. If a student chooses to complete an express check out they waive their rights to contest to any room charges.
