Housing
May Closing
All UE Residential facilities officially
close at Noon on the Thursday
following Finals Week.
However,
students
must officially check out of housing within 24 hours following their last exam.
If you
need to stay
later
an Extended Stay Request must be submitted by 5pm on Reading & Study Day. These are
available in the Residence Life Office. There will be a $25 per night fee
depending on the reason for staying.
Graduating seniors and those participating in
graduation may remain in housing until noon the day following commencement.
To check out,
students must schedule an appointment with an RA 48 hours in advance. At a
checkout appointment, the room must be vacated and clean. The RA will check
the room and furnishings for damages. Students will provide the RA with the
room keys, fill out all paperwork and sign the checkout form during their
checkout appointment.
Personal property left after checkout times will be removed from rooms
and disposed of by the
University. Students whose
rooms require extra cleanup after checkout will be charged a minimum of $50.
An additional fine of $50 will be charged for failure to check out properly
and $25 will be charged for failure to return room keys.
Residence
Hall Check-Out Your Resident
Assistant will post a sign on his/her door for check-out appointments.
Residents must sign-up for a time 48 hours in advance. If you are unable to
sign up for a time with your Resident Assistant, please sign-up with another
Resident Assistant in your building. Be sure to keep your
check-out appointment to avoid improper check-out charges.
Prior to your checkout
appointment be sure to have all your items packed up and have the room in a
clean condition. Plan ahead and set aside time to adequately clean and
prepare your room to avoid charges for improper check-out or cleaning.
At your checkout
appointment the Resident Assistant will:
-
Thoroughly check the room for
damages and make note of the damages. (charges will be assessed by the
Residential Coordinator at a later time)
-
Request that you fill out your
summer forwarding address on the RCR and sign your check-out form.
-
Collect your key (failure to
return your key will result in a $25.00 charge, please do not slide keys
under the Resident Assistant’s door)
Before you checkout don’t
forget to:
-
Unplug and clean your
MicroFridge (if you rented one)
-
Return
your rented loft to a designated collection center (if you rented one).
More information will be provided.
-
Contact your Hall Staff by
posted deadlines if you want to use one of the storage closets for the
summer.
Village Resident Check-Out
Residents in the Villages follow a different procedure. Village residents
will have the option of an Express Checkout.
All residents using the Express
Checkout will complete an Express Checkout form and hand-deliver it to their
Resident Assistant or the Office of Residence Life.
When checking out of a Village
space, follow all procedures, and take care to clean and prepare your
apartment to avoid check-out fees.
Winter
Break & Checking Out
Residence Halls Close
We ask that all students
depart within 24 hours after their last
final.
All students living in the residence halls
are required to vacate their rooms during
Winter Break.
(While
students may leave their possessions in their
rooms, they may want to bring valuables home to
guard against unforeseen damage or theft.)
The residence halls
officially close at Noon on Thursday, December
18, 2008. All exterior door locks will be
changed at that time.
Be sure to
turn off alarm clocks, close and lock windows and doors,
and properly
dispose of any garbage.

winter closing checklist.
Students not Returning
If students
are not returning for Spring semester, they
should arrange a check out time with their RA 48
hours in advance. RAs are students with finals
too, so it is important to set up a mutually
convenient time. (Failure to check out properly and return keys
result in a $75 administrative fee for Improper
Checkout and a Door Re-Core.)
