  • College-owned apartment refrigerators should be emptied, cleaned, and remain plugged in with the door closed.
  • Return and reassemble all furniture to its proper locations. 

  • Remove all personal belongings. No summer storage is provided for students. Any and all abandoned property left behind will be discarded immediately after checkout, and students are responsible for the cost of removal. 

  • Close and lock the windows, and patio/balcony door.
  • Once all items are completely moved out, lock the door, place your key(s) in the envelope provided, and place the envelope in one of the designated key drop boxes.

Forgot to turn in your key?

If you get home and realize that you forgot to turn in your room/apartment key, mail it back to us.  Padded envelopes are recommended. Keys packaged in a plain envelope are often missing upon arrival because the postal machine tears through the envelope.   Please send the keys to:
