Improper Checkout Fee

If checkout requirements are not completed, you may be charged an improper checkout fee, which will be assessed to your bursar account.

Review Move-Out Overview for step-by-step instructions.

Additional fees may also apply as outlined below.

Abandoned Property Fee

If personal belongings are left in your space after checkout, an abandoned property fee will be charged.

Abandoned items will be removed and stored at the resident’s expense. The vacating resident will receive an email notification and will have 30 days to claim the items.

If the items are not claimed within 30 days, the university will donate them to a local charity.

Additional Cleaning Fee

An additional cleaning fee may be charged if the room is not cleaned according to checkout expectations or if university furniture is not returned to its original move-in configuration.

Common Area Damage Fee

Residents may be charged for damages to shared spaces, such as lounges, hallways, lobbies, or building exteriors, when the responsible individual(s) cannot be identified.

In these cases, all residents in the affected area may be billed.

Reporting vandalism helps reduce unnecessary costs for everyone.

Failure to Return Keys

Residents may be charged for failing to leave keys with Desk Services upon departure. Keys may not be returned by mail/shipped.
