Moving Out

Step 2: BEFORE your in-person checkout appointment, be sure to complete the items below. If these items have not been completed prior to your scheduled appointment, you will be subject to damage or cleaning check-out charges. 

• Toilet: The commode must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, both inside and out.
• Bathroom Sink: Sinks must be cleaned.
• Cabinet/Shelf & Drawers: Shelves and drawers must be wiped off.
• Floors: The floors must be cleaned. If the floors are dirty or sticky they must be wet-mopped.
• Closets: All closets must be clean and empty.
• Door: All flyers and decorations must be removed and locked as you leave.
• Walls: Posters, nails, tape, and decorations must be removed,
• Windows: Windows must be clean, closed, and locked. Mini-blinds must be clean and open.
• Furniture: All furniture must be wiped off and returned to the standard-setting.
• Trash: All trash must be removed and placed in the dumpster.
• Remove all personal belongings from your room.

Step 3: Be in your room at the scheduled time of your in-person check-out appointment. 

• The RA will arrive at your room at the time of the appointment and will complete a room inspection.
• Return your room key to your RA

NOTE: Rooms with belongings or trash left at the time of appointment (that do not belong to the remaining resident(s) if applicable) will not be cleared for check-out and the student will be required to reschedule for a later time after these items have been addressed.

Step 4: Continue to monitor your JagMail over the next few days. As roommates may check out at different times, damages may be found after the last person checks out of the room/apartment. Therefore, damage and cleaning charges will not be assessed until after the room/apartment is completely vacant. If a damage or cleaning charge is assessed you will be notified via your JagMail. If you feel that you have been charged for damage for which you are not responsible, you must submit an appeal to the USA Housing Office by clicking here. You have until May 26th at 12:00 PM (noon) to submit an appeal. 

Step 2: BEFORE your express checkout appointment, visit your Community Desk/Office or see your RA to collect an Express Checkout Form. Be sure to complete the items listed on the Express Checkout Form. If these items have not been completed prior to your scheduled appointment, the student will be subject to checkout charges. Please note that the Express Checkout option does NOT allow for appeals to any charges assessed. 

• Toilet: The commode must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, both inside and out.
• Bathroom Sink: Sinks must be cleaned.
• Cabinet/Shelf & Drawers: Shelves and drawers must be wiped off.
• Floors: The floors must be cleaned. If the floors are dirty or sticky they must be wet-mopped.
• Closets: All closets must be clean and empty.
• Door: All flyers and decorations must be removed and locked as you leave.
• Walls: Posters, nails, tape, and decorations must be removed,
• Windows: Windows must be clean, closed, and locked. Mini-blinds must be clean and open.
• Furniture: All furniture must be wiped off and returned to the standard setting.
• Trash: All trash must be removed and placed in the dumpster.
• Remove all personal belongings from your room.

Step 3:

• If between 8 AM - 8 PM, Monday - Friday, return the completed and signed Express Checkout Form, along with your room key, to your Community Desk/Office. 
• If after 8 PM return the completed and signed Express Checkout Form, along with your room key, to the USA Housing Office at the Delta Commons building and place it in the designated key drop slot. The key drop location is on the side of the Delta Commons building closest to Camellia Hall (the same building as the Delta Deli). Look for the signage that will indicate the drop-off location.

Step 4: Your Resident Assistant will visit your room/apartment after you have turned in the Express Checkout Form to conduct a room inspection. 

Continue to monitor your JagMail over the next few days. As roommates may check out at different times, damages may be found after the last person checks out of the room/apartment. Therefore, damage and cleanliness charges will not be assessed until after the room/apartment is completely vacant. If a damage or cleaning charge is assessed you will be notified via your JagMail. If you feel you have been charged for a damage or a fee for which you are not responsible, remember, you will not be able to appeal any charges if you have selected the Express Checkout option.
