End of Fall Term Check Out

We highly encourage all residents to vacate their rooms 24 hours after their final exam. It is essential that maximum quiet be maintained, so that the sleep or study of any student is not interrupted. If a resident has only signed their contract for Fall Term, they must follow the check-out procedure emailed to them.

Residents are permitted to leave their belongings in their room if they are continuing their studies into the Winter Term. Room keys do not need to be returned to our office. Our Residence Assistants will contact all residents to inquire about their winter/holiday plans to ensure an efficient transition from the Fall Term to the Winter Term.

Before you leave for Winter Break

• Make sure windows are closed and locked
• Disconnect everything (except fridges) that generates heat or is sensitive to power surge
• Remove any garbage and perishable food from your room
• Turn off lights and lock your door

If you had initially signed a residence contract for both Fall and Winter Terms and wish to withdraw from the Winter Term, you must notify the residence office before December 1st otherwise, you are responsible for the entire room and board fees for the Winter Term.
