How To Check Out

All residents will complete an Express Check‑Out. This process allows you to leave without waiting for an RA to inspect your room.

1. Prepare Your Space

   Before checking out, you must:

   • Pack and remove all belongings
   • Clean your room/suite/apartment
   • Return furniture to its original layout
   • Wipe down surfaces
   • Sweep floors
   • Remove all trash (extra dumpsters will be available near residential areas)
   • Close and lock windows
   • Turn off lights if you are the last to leave

   Reminder: The most common charges are for trash removal and cleaning.

2. Pick Up Your Express Check‑Out Envelope

   You can get an envelope from your RA/RC Office. There will be a box right outside with forms. Please contact our office if you have any issues

3. Complete the Express Check-Out Envelope
   • Fill out the form on the front
   • Place your keys inside the envelope
   • Tear off the yellow copy for your records
   • Seal the envelope
4. Return Your Envelope. Bring it to the RA Office and hand it to a staff member or place it inside of the express checkout box 
5. Complete Your Electronic Check-Out. Log into your housing portal and submit your electronic check-out form.
