Check-Out with RA

This is the preferred method, however, if there are no RAs available or it is outside of the staffed time frames, express check out can be completed.

• Schedule a check-out time with an RA via the housing portal
  • RAs will be available to conduct check-outs on: 
    • Wednesday, May 15th from noon - 8:00 PM
    • Thursday, May 16th from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Noon)
• Meet the RA at your front desk at your selected appointment time
• An RA will accompany you to your reserved space to complete the room inventory form, verify that all belongings have been removed and do a visual check with the resident present. 
  • The RA will open all drawers, closets and safes with the resident present.
• If there are any damages found during inspections, this will be communicated via email at a later time. 
• After the room check has been completed, the RA and resident will return to the front desk to turn in the key. 

Express Check-Out

This is the back-up option for residents who cannot leave during the allotted time or wish to forgo the initial RA room inspection.

If a resident choose this option, you opt out of an appeal on charges. 

• Residents will complete an Express Check-Out Intent Form. 
• Residents will request an Express Check-Out envelope from either their RLC or Front Desk in advance of closing.
  
  • There will be envelopes available throughout the closing period.
• Residents will empty all belongings from their room and place key(s) in the express check-out envelope. 
  • Residents must fill out all applicable items on the express check-out envelope
• Once completed, residents will place envelope with key(s) in the express check-out box located at the front desk.
