What happens when I choose the RA Regular Checkout?
During the 20 minute inspection, an RA from your building will come to your room/apartment and conduct an initial room inspection for your side of the bedroom (which must be completely empty of all belongings) using the Room Condition Report (RCR) form completed in August. The initial room inspection will be followed up by later inspections by Residence Life staff - damage may be found in the later inspection which the resident(s) of the room is responsible for restitution of. Residence Life will bill your room/apartment for all identified damages including those found after all students have checked out.
The common areas of your apartment/suite (i.e. kitchen, bathroom, living room) will not be completed on your RCR until the last person leaves. It is very important that you help clean and prepare those common areas for checkout to make sure that all your roommates will be able to leave at the appropriate time or all residents will be charged $50 for improper checkout.
