When It Is Time To Leave
We want to ensure that you follow the appropriate check-out procedures to avoid any charges accrued to your account. In order to quickly expedite your check-out, we might be coming by your room between the hours of 10:00am-5:00pm to do a preliminary damage room assessment. We will give you prior notification and you do not have to be present during this inspection.
Please Note: You must check out on or before 12:00pm on your move out day (if you booked your room directly with your school/company please follow their check-out date). Failure to do so will result in additional charges and/or penalties applied to your account as per the terms set forth.
PREPARE FOR YOUR MOVE OUT
Below are some steps you can take for a successful check-out. Failure to clean, remove garbage/debris/personal belongings and not return your mailbox key and EHS ID card will result in fees and extra charges applied to your account.
-
Clean and remove garbage/debris and all personal belongings from your room.
-
All food must be removed from your refrigerator.
-
Return all furniture to its original set up.
-
Return your key and your EHS ID card.
-
If applicable, provide credit card information to the EHS staff member that checks you out for any damages and unpaid fees/fines. For a list of charges please check our ‘Damages’ section in our Code of Conduct.
Change your address:
Notify companies and the Post Office of your address change. To change your address you can fill out an online change of address form or personally go to the closest Post Office (Phone: (800) ASK-USPS). After you depart, EHS will no longer accept any mail or packages in your name and any current mail/packages you fail to retrieve will be returned to the sender at your own expense.
HOW TO CHECK OUT
To avoid any improper check-out fees you must follow one of these check-out procedures. An improper check-out includes but is not limited to: failure to make or miss a check-out appointment, or not completing the proper check-out paperwork, etc. Residents who neglect to follow the check-out procedures will receive an “Improper Check-out” fee of $150.00 (rates are subject to change) added to their account.
Schedule a check-out appointment with the Student Life Office at least 48 hours prior to your departure date. During your check-out an EHS staff member will check your room for any damages, collect mailbox key and room key/ID, and payment for damages or other fees. Check-out appointments are only done in 15 minute slots during office hours.
For your appointment you should have all your belongings packed, room cleaned (cleaning charges may be applied to your account if room is not cleaned). If applicable, during your appointment you will be asked to provide credit card information to the EHS staff member that checks you out for any damages and unpaid fees/fines. For a list of charges please check our 'Damages' Section.
If you are unable to schedule a check-out appointment, please stop by the Student Life Office to discuss other options, or email us at Marymount@studenthousing.org.
