RESIDENTIAL LIFE GUIDE
checkout inspection

Upon a student's vacating a room, apartment, or suite, the Residence Director (RD) will conduct a check-out inspection. This inspection may take place during an Escorted Checkout with the student present, but it will be conducted after students have vacated the room, suite or apartment in all other circumstances.

With reference to the Room Condition Report (RCR) or Apartment Condition Report form (ACR) the student completed at check-in, damage to furnishings and facilities (e.g., walls, windows, screens, mattresses, carpeting) or missing college property will be noted.

If the RD determines by this inspection that the room, apartment, or suite, or its furnishings have been damaged beyond normal wear (e.g., graffiti on surfaces, cracked windows, torn drapes, stains, chipped paint, tape residue on surfaces, nails or hooks in walls), or if College property is missing (e.g, recycling bins, outlet covers), the student and his or her roommate(s), apartmentmate(s), or suitemate(s) will be billed according for the actual cost of repair and replacement.


Please note: a student may contact their RD at any point during the academic year to review their RCR/ACR.

By failure complete and submit an ACR/RCR, a student has waived his or her right to appeal any damage charges assessed by their Residence Director. The room, suite, or apartment will be considered in "like new" condition for damage billing purposes.

Common area damage affects everyone in the community resulting in increased housing costs.

All correspondence to contest damage charges should be directed to the appropriate Residence Director at:
