Schedule an In-Person Checkout for an RA to check your room prior to leaving. Next week, your RC/HR will be emailing a link to schedule your check-out appointment.

Select a time that you will be ready to checkout of your room. All items need to be out of your room during your checkout appointment. Checkout appointments should be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance to give staff time to internally schedule shifts. Please remember that RAs have finals too!

At the checkout appointment, a building RA will collect your key(s). The RA will inspect the room to ensure all personal items are removed and discuss any potential damage responsibilities. It is helpful to have all drawers and cabinets open during the checkout appointment.

How to Check Out

First to Leave Your Room

Pick up a Self-Checkout Key Envelope with instructions at the RA office or in the Office of Residence Life beginning April 24, 2023.

All Residence Life issued keys should be placed in this envelope prior to leaving campus. You can leave this envelope with your roommate (and the RA will collect it during the Last to Leave checkout appointment) or turn it into your RA when leaving campus.

Before leaving, complete the Self-Checkout link on the key envelope.

Additionally, if you would like to schedule an In-Person checkout, you may do so by following the Last to Leave process.
