Checkout procedures include, but are not limited to, scheduling an appointment in advance, honoring the time of their appointment, completing an on-site inspection of the room, returning all residence hall keys (room key, suite key, locker key), and signing the Room Condition Agreement accepting responsibility for any damages and/or charges. Students must properly clean their room and remove all personal items, trash, and/or recyclables before the on-site room inspection.
