Please note that students will be charged the daily rate for the those additional dates until their summer contract starts.

Graduating students will be emailed the extension request form should they need to remain in their space beyond the standard move-out date. Students must submit the completed form to the Housing Office by April 15 in order for their extension request to be processed and approved for stay through their set Commencement date.

Students that choose to move out prior to the other residents of that unit, residents can request to document the condition of the common areas. An agreement between all the residents should be reached to determine who is responsible for any damages or potential cleaning charges.

If no agreement is reached or no documentation exists to guide the decision-making process, charges will be divided between all residents of the area. An incident report along with any necessary maintenance requests should be completed to document check-out conditions or agreements between residents.

The entirety of the contract amount will remain regardless of the date you checked out in accordance with the agreed upon contract.
