Moving Out of Your Room

Important! Please do a thorough check of your room (look under bed, in all drawers/wardrobes, etc.) prior to checking out to make sure that you have all of your belongings. Items left in rooms after check-out are done so at the student’s own risk. Found items will be transported to a storage area and kept for a short time before being discarded. Housing & Ancillary Services assumes no responsibility or liability for any found/transported/stored items.

To avoid unnecessary changes to your student account, please ensure that you do the following before checking out of residence:

• move furniture back to its original place and in a condition suitable for immediate occupancy
• remove all garbage and recycling
• vacuum
• ensure that you have left all items you received upon move-in (bed/mattress, phone and cords, recycling bag, desk chair, wastebasket)
• remove any tape from the walls
• check all drawers for personal belongings
• lock the door behind you when you leave

A Residence staff member will inspect your room after you have checked out and charges will be placed on your account if items are missing, the room is damaged or extra cleaning is required.

Checking out and Desk hours

• You cannot mail back or return your keys after you check out. Any keys not returned at check-out will be considered lost and charges will be placed on your student account. You may not be able to access your grades if you have outstanding charges on your account.

Changing your address

Ensure that you change your address directly with credit card companies, banks and any magazine subscriptions that you may have. Inform friends and family not to send anything after April 1, as it may not arrive before you leave. Canada Post will not redirect mail for students living in residence. Anything that is received after you leave will be returned to sender.
