Your room is not considered vacated until you remove all of your belongings and return your keys to your Housing Service Center. If you have lost your keys, you must still check out or notify your Housing Service Center of your departure date in writing.

You will be charged an unauthorized occupancy fee for each day, or portion of each day, that you remain in your room or residence after the end of your contract period.

Paying or Appealing a Damage Bill

Charges will not be waived if the damages are accidental; on the other hand if the damage was willful, the case may be forwarded to the Residence Dean for further action. Financial Services will place a hold on your enrollment or degree if you have an unpaid damage bill.
