Housing Changes
Room Assignments
During the break, the Residential Life Office will be assigning new students, transfer students, and returning co-op students to vacant spaces in all residence halls. If your roommate is leaving at the end of the semester or if you do not currently have a roommate, you should be prepared to have a new roommate at the start of the next semester (those who paid for a single room are exempt).
For double occupancy rooms please make sure one bed, one desk, and one closet are available for use by the new resident prior to leaving for the semester break. Failure on your part to ensure space is available may result in cleaning and/or damage charges being applied to your account.
If you are interested in pre-selecting a roommate, please accompany the person you wish to reside with you to Campus Housing & Dining building at 205 W. 12 Street as soon as possible, at which time you will be required to complete the appropriate move paperwork and get approval for your request.
Be advised: Your new roommate may not proceed with the move until approval has been given and this process must be completed prior to leaving for break.
Leave/Checkouts
Any and all Leaves/Checkouts or Moves out of or within the Residence halls at end of semester require contacting Residential Life at the Campus Housing and Dining building by December 13, 2010. All room changes must be completed by December 18 or before leaving for the semester break.
All of the following steps must be completed:
� Get approval from the Residential Life office at Campus Housing & Dining building at 205 W. 12th St. by December 13.
� Contact your RA for a checkout time or use the express check-out option at your front desk.
� Complete a change of address card at the front desk.
All check-outs must be completed before leaving for break. Any checkouts/moves not completed by 8:00 am on Friday, December 18 will be cancelled.
***The Express Check-Out Agreement adds convenience and flexibility to your room check-out. You may check-out by simply reading and completing the Express Check-Out Agreement (which can be picked up at your residence hall front desk) and turning it in to the Quad, RC, or TJ Front Desk along with your room key. If you choose this option, there is no need to sign up for a checkout time with your RA.
Note to Collegiate Station Residents: The Express Check-Out option will not be available for Collegiate Station residents. You must contact your RA 24 hours prior to your desired check-out time to schedule an appointment with them to complete the check-out process.
Please be aware that there are certain liabilities associated with this agreement:
� You lose the opportunity to question damage charges before they appear on your student account.
� You also lose the opportunity to make incidental repairs and do extra cleaning to avoid charges.
� If you would like to have input regarding possible damage charges in your room, then express check-out is not for you. Please contact your RA and arrange a time to check out.
VITAL INFORMATION
If you are not returning for the Winter Semester, you must vacate by December 18. Move or check out appointments are available between 8:00 am until 11:00 pm beginning on December 6th.
