Traditional Check Out
When moving out, students have the option of traditional checkout versus express checkout. With traditional checkout, the resident will make an appointment with their RA to come walk through the room. Please note that the RA's inspection is not final until professional staff and maintenance determine what work needs to be done to bring the room up to grade. As such, the RA's inspection could be well used in an advisory capacity. Good to have advance warning of any problems that need to be fixed.
The RA will also collect the key and cards that need to be returned. Residents should also fill out their agreements on responsibilities for any damages. This form is part of both traditional and express check out. Without this agreement in advance, all residents will be held equally responsible for any damages. (Charges divided in equal parts.)
