Residence HALLS CLOSE FRIDAY, April 26 at 8 P.M.
If you’re planning to stay in your room for Friday, April 26, and/or Saturday, April 27, log in to your My Housing account in April and book your Late Stay. There is a one-night charge for the Saturday to Sunday stay only. The final check-out is at noon on Sunday, April, 28
CHECK-OUT PROCESS
We ask that students check out at the Service Center in your building or the primary Service Center in your community. Here, you will turn in any keys you have and verify the needed information.
If you plan to check out between midnight and 7 a.m., express check-out envelopes will be available from the Primary Service Center of your neighborhood. Simply complete the envelope, seal your keys and any access cards (not your Spartan ID card) inside the envelope, and drop it in the outgoing mailbox located in the lobby. Generally, you must check out in person with the Service Center to ensure keys are returned to avoid potential charges.
The following should be returned, whether in person or via envelope after hours:
- Room key, bike room key, and/or bathroom key (if applicable)
- Loaner key and/or loaner access cards (if applicable)
Please note: If you forget to turn in your key when checking out, we do not accept keys returned via mail. If your key is not returned when checking out, the lock will be replaced and billed to your student account.
