Spring Closing Information
Housing officially closes on Sunday, May 10, 2020 at noon.
- The only exceptions for our move out time are those students who are participating in commencement, grad students or are assigned on campus housing for the summer.
- Congratulations to our graduating seniors! Seniors and those participating in commencement will need to check out by Wednesday, May 22 by 12 p.m. at the front desk of your building (Latrobe for Founders Green). Please leave your keys in an express check out envelope (provided at the desk) and we will check your room later that day.
- Graduate Students will move out by May 31st by 12p.m.
- We ask that all undergraduate students plan to move out 24 hours after their last assignment or by 12 p.m. on May 12, whatever comes first. This helps with the flow of students moving out of the residential buildings and helps to manage noise levels as students finish up and are ready to let off some steam.
- Any student who has not been previously approved that is still here after our posted closing time (May 12 at 12 p.m.) will be charged a late fee of $100 for the first hour and $50 each additional hour. Please plan ahead. It may take you longer to pack than you expect.
- Your R.A. will be arranging a closing meeting to take place in your community. All on campus students must attend their closing floor meeting. They will provide you with all the necessary information to ensure a smooth check out.
- Complete the Damage Declaration Sheet with your roommates (explained in detail during the closing meeting). Additional information about damage appeals can be found under Housing Policies here.
- Complete the change of address form, available online at www.usps.com. All mail will be returned to sender after you move out unless you complete the form to have mail redirected to your summer address.
- Clean your apartment completely (a check list will be provided during the closing meeting). Here is a suggested copy of a cleaning check list.
- Each student must check out (either express or regular check out). Check out times are available with your R.A. Please refer to information provided in your closing floor meetings.
- Return your keys. Each student must return an apartment key, mail key, and studio key (if this has not already been collected). Please keep your MICARD and exchange it when you return for the fall semester for an updated version.
Checking Out of Housing
There are two options for checking out of your room, express check out or regular check out. Regular check out is encouraged and recommended for first year students.
- Express Checkout - The express checkout option is quick and simple, available at anytime. When you are ready to check out, all of your belongings are packed up and your room is empty, stop by the front desk and ask for an express check out envelope. Fill out the information, place your room and mail keys inside, sign and seal the envelope. Residence Life staff will check your room for damages in your absence. Choosing the express checkout option waives your right to appeal any damages assessed during your room inspection.
- Regular Checkout - R.A.s will be available during various times throughout the week for regular check out. Hours for regular checkout will be posted in your community. Please schedule your appointment in advance of when you expect to be ready to check out. After you have packed up all of your belongings and your room is empty, it is ready to be checked. Please plan ahead. The regular checkout option will only be available during the hours that are posted, and it is a first come first served process. We recommend the regular checkout option for first year students. Please contact your R.A. if you have questions.
R.A.s do not assess damages! A professional staff member will give your room a final inspection once all students have moved out. If you are found responsible for damages, you will be notified in June.
