move-in Prior to arriving on campus, you will be assigned
a specific room. Upon arrival, you are checked in by the Office of Residential
Life. At that time you receive an access card/keys, a mailing address, and
other pertinent information from the Office of Residential Life.
The move-in process includes completion of a Room Condition Report (RCR) form. Your resident assistant will review the condition of your room prior to your arrival. It is your responsibility to submit discrepancies to the RA. If there are any corrections, you need to contact your RA within 24 hours of your move-in date.
When you move-out of your room, the RCR form will be used to assess the condition of your room once again. If the condition of your room has changed during your stay, you will be assessed for the repair or replacement of items that may have been damaged or missing from the room. Once again, it is very important to review the condition of your room carefully upon your arrival.
Make certain that any problems are noted and contact your RA immediately after checking into your room. This is your opportunity to attest to the condition of the room. It is also important throughout the term to report any necessary repairs to your RA.
move-out When you leave the residence halls at the conclusion
of the term or year, you are responsible for making an appointment with your
RA to move-out of your room. If you are checking out during the term, you
will need to make an appointment with your RA at least 24 hours prior to
your departure. If it is the end of the term, you will need to make a move-out
appointment with your RA one week before the first day of final exams. Please
keep in mind that you are bound by the terms of the housing agreement. Your
RA will check you out upon your reasonable request.
You must check out 24 hours after your last final exam.
During move-out, the RA will have your RCR, and a key envelope. The RA will
be inspecting the entire room/apartment and furnishings. The RA will record
any damages on the room assessment form and on an incident report. Should
damages be discovered after you have left, you may be charged as well.
All room damage charges can be appealed up to one month after your move
out date.
It is important to note that your meal plan and access to the building will be cancelled at time of move out. Should you need to regain access to your residence you will need to contact the Director of Residential Life in the Student Life Center room 234 or ext. 7055 from any campus phone.
The last resident who checks out of a room/apartment is responsible for the cleanliness of the room/apartment. All trash should be removed. Your room/apartment should be in "broom clean" condition with all the required furniture.
