Before you leave, please make sure to fully clean your space. Your space should be as clean as, if not cleaner, than you found it at the beginning of the year.

Damage Billing Facts
  • If there is any damage in your room, suite, apartment, floor, or exterior of the hall, you may be charged.  Damage is considered anything beyond normal wear and tear, that is different in your room than was originally found at the beginning of the academic year.
  • If you have information on any damages that have occurred in common areas of your building, please contact Residential Services.   When we are unable to discern the individual responsible for the common area damage, residents of the floor/building will be charged.
  • Please be aware you will see these charges on your bill.
  • Each room will be inspected by Residential Services professional staff after the buildings are vacant.  If any damages are found during this inspection, you will be charged via your student account.
