Summer 2008 Closing Information
Deadlines:
- All students must be checked out properly through their RA no later 10:00am on Saturday, August 2, 2008. Students who fail to checkout prior to 10:00am on Saturday,August 8, 2008 may be charged an Improper Checkout fee of at least $100, depending on the circumstances, and on top of possible $25/day housing fee. In order to stay later than 10:00 am on Saturday August 2, 2008, residents must submit a request to stay late using the Late Checkout and Interim Housing Request Form. Even when Late Checkouts are granted, there is still a $25 housing fee for each day they request to stay, starting with the official checkout day (August 2, 2008).
How to Properly Checkout:
In order to avoid an Improper Checkout, each resident must:
- Schedule a checkout time with their RA. Schedules will be posted on each RA door, and time slots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you fail to sign up for a valid time, or are not ready to checkout at your scheduled time, you may be assessed an Improper Checkout Fee.
- Pack ALL of your personal belongings and move them out of the room, into your vehicle or storage unit.
- Clean your room from top to bottom. Make sure to sweep and mop, wipe down the furniture and walls, and report any problems to your RA immediately (before checkout if at all possible). Make sure to bag all of your trash and dispose of it properly. RAs will have extra trashbags if needed.
- Clean out your campus mailbox.
- Turn in all of your keys to your RA. Key replacement charges apply for any keys not returned at checkout.
- Turn in your Mail Forwarding Request. Please make sure we have you correct Summer address so you can get your mail. If your Summer address is the same as your permanent address on file with the University, you do not have to complete a Mail Forwarding Request. Your mail will automatically be forwarded to that address.
- Show up on time! RAs will be VERY busy with multiple checkouts. If you are late, you may get skipped and assessed an Improper Checkout Fee.
Trash
Each RA will have trash bags available for residents to use. Bring all trash bags to the designated dumpsters, located outside of the residence halls. Ask an RA if you don't know where the closest dumpster is. The refuse rooms can not accommodate all of the trash, so they will be closed down during finals week and closing. Trash left in non-designated areas will be subject to fines for the area in which it is found.
Interim Housing
Students who have applied and been assigned summer housing and wish to stay on campus between Fall closing and Summer opening (a period of 2 weeks) may apply for Interim Housing. Interim housing costs $170 per week for a double occupancy room, in addition to the regular Summer Housing. Students who wish to request interim housing must complete the Late Checkout/ Interim Housing Request Form. Approved students may be required to move from their current room.
Safety Reminder
Move-out week is a time of high theft on most college campuses, due largely to book buy-back and people leaving cars and rooms unlocked. Please always lock your room and vehicle, and do not leave textbooks or other valuables unattended.
