Checking/Moving Out of Residence

Students moving out of residence must complete a full and proper checkout.

The following list summarizes the expectations for each student moving out of residence. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in a charge of $100.

Any damages to your residence room/apartment will be billed separately. The amount charged will be determined by the cost of the repair. Unpaid accounts will result in a hold being placed on your WLU student account.

1. Schedule a check-out appointment with your Don. You are responsible for being present at the agreed-to time and for being prepared for your room check-out.
   
   
2. Ensure you have followed the cleaning checklist. (see below)
   
   
3. Your room must be left in the same condition as when you moved in, and all furniture must be placed back into the same arrangement as it was on move-in day. 
   
   
4. The Don will be using the cleaning checklist while checking you out of your residence room. Dons will be inspecting the room for cleanliness, damages and furniture placement. 
   
   
5. All garbage must be disposed of in the proper locations (as noted on the cleaning checklist). 
   
   
6. Ensure that there is only one mattress on your bed. If there is more than one mattress, you are responsible for moving the extra mattress to the collection location (as indicated on the cleaning checklist). 
   
   
7. Personal items and garbage are not to be left in your room, in common areas, storage areas, garbage collection rooms, hallways or bathrooms, etc. 
   
   
8. If you have a rented Coldex refrigerator, you are responsible for returning your refrigerator to Coldex when their trucks are on campus for pick-up. Please review the Coldex Refrigerator Return Procedures and Schedule. Wilfrid Laurier University assumes no responsibility for rental refrigerators left in the residence after a student moves out.
   
   
9. The don will use your check-in form (which was completed with you on move-in day) as your check-out form. The don will complete the check-out form with you present in the room.
   
   
10. You must sign the check-out form and take the yellow copy of the check-out form for your records.
    
    
11. Hand in your residence keys to the don. The don will tag the keys and return them to the Residential Services Office where they will be verified.
