Additional charges
Miscellaneous charges may be incurred during a student鈥檚 stay. Common examples are:
- Replacing lost keys (includes changing key cores for safety)
- Damages
- Trash in the hallway
- Improper checkout
When necessary, these miscellaneous charges are posted on a student鈥檚 account as a separate item. Usually they occur during the year, but some students incur additional expenses when they check out of their room.
Charges After Move-out
Rooms and apartments must be returned to a condition comparable to that at the beginning of occupancy; reasonable wear and tear excepted. Residents are held responsible for and must reimburse the University for damages to the room/apartment or furniture. After students depart, residence hall rooms and apartments are checked by student and professional staff. Final billing decisions are made by professional staff. If there are questions, Housing staff compares the condition of the room/apartment at move out to what students reported on the move-in inventory they completed.
