Students who are not returning for the fall or spring semesters because of graduation, study abroad, or other reasons should contact the Registrar’s Office to complete appropriate forms and paperwork before departure. They should follow these simple check-out procedures for each room, suite or apartment:
CHECK-OUT
Check-out schedules will be posted in the residence
facilities. All residents are
responsible for arranging a specific check-out time at least 24 hours prior to
the actual check-out (example: If you desire to checkout at 4:00 pm on Tuesday,
you will need to sign up no later than 4:00 pm on Monday). It is your responsibility to properly
check-out of your room. Failure to
check-out properly will result in a minimum $75.00 fine.
Check-outs will be conducted only after you have removed all
of your belongings from your room, cleaned your room, and are actually ready to
depart. At your pre-appointed time,
contact the Resident Assistant that you signed up with and let them know you
are ready for your room inspection. If
the Resident Assistant is not in their room at this time, they may simply be
conducting someone else’s check-out and will be right back -- PLEASE WAIT.
The Resident Assistant will bring your Room Condition Report
(RCR) that you filled out when you moved in, make a cursory inspection and take
your key. Later your Area Coordinator and Facilities Management will conduct a
detailed inspection for damages. Damage charges will be emailed to you via your Hendrix email account. All damage appeals must be submitted
as outlined in your damage email and received by the deadline announced
therein.
Please understand that the Resident Assistant is simply
noting differences in the condition of the room. He or she is not making decisions on what
charges (if any) will be posted or how much these charges will be. Billing decisions will be made by the
full-time members of the Residence Life and Facilities Management staff.
