check-out. Students who check-out improperly may be assessed a fine. Improper check-out applies to improper room changes, failure to return keys, sign paperwork for room departure, failure to check-out at vacation times or at the end of the semester, and for checking out late. Moving Out/Checking Out When a resident moves out of a room, even if just moving down the hallway, the resident must: Schedule a time with the RA to assess the condition of the room. To prepare your room for check-out: ▪ Place all furniture back in its original location and condition, including beds bunked. ▪ Remove all decorations, posters, markings, tape, etc. from all surfaces including walls, floors, windows and both sides of the door. Wash any painted light bulbs. ▪ Remove all trash. Do not sweep trash into hallway. ▪ Clean the room. Cleaning includes vacuuming, mopping, and removing all non-Northern property. If the room is not sufficiently cleaned, the resident(s) will be billed for cleaning. ▪ No personal items may be left in the room. Any item left will be disposed of immediately. Complete a check-out inventory with the RA after all your belongings have been removed from the room. Review the completed inventory sheet and ask about anything you don't understand. Turn in keys. Sign and date the Room Inventory Sheet. A final room inspection will be completed immediately following the close of the semester. Residents will be billed for any damages found during this inspection. Moving from hall to hall must take place during hall office hours 7-11 pm. Room Damages Residents are responsible for their rooms and furnishings and are financially accountable for damages beyond normal and reasonable wear and tear. Malicious damage will result in disciplinary action. EACH RESIDENT SHOULD BE CERTAIN THEIR ROOM INVENTORY FORM IS COMPLETED FULLY AND ACCURATELY. IT IS FROM THIS FORM THAT ROOM DAMAGES ARE ASSESSED AT THE END OF OCCUPANCY. Residents are urged to report any damage in the common areas of the buildings to a member of their hall staff immediately. Charges for Damages: Items damaged beyond normal wear and tear are assessed against the individual(s) responsible. So that you might be aware of the estimated cost for making the necessary repairs and replacements, please see Appendix A of this document. These costs are estimates and are subject to change without notice. Room Changes/Move-On Days Roommate, room, and hall changes will not be made during the first three weeks of the semester, as it is our belief that students need this time to adjust to their living situation as well as familiarize and negotiate living choices with their roommate. During the fall and spring semesters, Move-On Days will be held to accommodate room change requests. A room change request form must be completed and signed by all parties involved before the request will be considered. Move-On Days for the fall semester are scheduled as follows: forms will be available from your Hall Staff on August 23, 2023 and the deadline for
