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.

Schedule a Check-out Appointment by emailing us at Coopersquare@studenthousing.org with a date and time that you are planning on leaving, or by stopping by the Student Life Office located in the Lower Level, at least 24 hours prior to your departure date.

An EHS staff member will check your room for any damages, collect your keys, EHS ID, and take payment for any damages or outstanding balances (if applicable). The check-out appointment should last approximately 10 minutes.

To help expedite your check-out and avoid charges, we ask that you do the following beforehand:

  • Remove personal belongings from your room/suite.

  • Dispose of all garbage/debris in your room and common areas.

  • Remove and dispose of all food from your refrigerator and cabinets.

  • Return all furniture to its original set up (where applicable).

  • Return keys to staff member at check-out appointment.

  • If you are able, suitemates should try and check out at the same time, so the last one in apt doesn’t become responsible for anything left behind.

  • 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.

Trash

Since the entire residence will be checking out around the same time, we ask that you be mindful and start cleaning out your apartment ahead of time and removing the trash. The hallways fill up very quickly with unwanted items and garbage, so we ask that you begin this process several days before. We will provid trash bags and have more available in the office if needed. Do not put any large items down the chute.

Mail & Packages

  • Notify companies and the Post Office of your address change. After you depart, EHS will not be able accept or forward any mail or packages in your name. We immediately return all mail/packages to sender after you have departed.

  • Please change your address in all of your personal accounts such as; Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.

Should you have any questions regarding your departure, please do not hesitate to ask! We can be reached at Coopersquare@studenthousing.org

It is very important that you do not leave with your keys!!!
