Checkout Procedures
All residents must schedule a check out with an RA before leaving campus (now or at any point over the summer).
Residents must sign up for their checkout at least 48 hours in advance of their intended departure. Residents should attempt to sign up with their RA first; if their RA’s availabilities do not meet up with the student’s intended checkout time, they should sign up with another RA.
Please note that if you fail to sign up for an appointment 48 hours in advance, the RAs are under no obligation to squeeze you into their schedule and you will be subject to
improper checkout charge ($50).
By the time of the checkout appointment the student MUST complete the following:
□ Remove ALL personal belongings from the room and public spaces (includes fridge, kitchen, laundry, computer room, lounge, etc.).
□ The room and the hallway area around the room must be cleaned including floor, closets, drawers, and furniture surfaces. Private bathrooms must be cleaned.
□ Properly dispose of trash; sweep/vacuum. DO NOT PLACE TRASH IN THE HALLWAY OR OVERLOAD
TRASHCANS. ALL TRASH MUST BE TAKEN TO THE DUMPSTERS. o Large roll-off dumpsters will be on campus by South/Riddle and by Prentis/Disert 5/9-6/14. Failure to follow disposal guidelines will result in community and/or individual fines.

o No “donating” in public areas of the halls. If you are “gifting” something to another student, give it to them directly; they must take it to their room. If “donations” begin appearing in the public spaces, community fines will be assessed. o There are many donation centers in town - please keep usable things out of the landfills! Donate your items to one of the shops on Main Street or in the area. o We have also started an online Community Swap event on the Wilson College Residence Life facebook page. Feel free to join in & post your items!
□ All windows are closed and locked.
□ All room surfaces (furniture, windows, walls, ceiling, etc.) must be clean of all tape, marks, hooks, adhesive and tacks.
□ College-issued mattress pads, curtains, shower curtains, etc. must be present at the time of checkout.
□ Furniture is returned to its original position (beds unbunked and on their lowest setting). Microfridges must be defrosted & cleaned. The microfridge & loft companies will be through after Commencement to pick up.
At the checkout appointment, the RA will review the checkout list (above) with the resident, encourage the resident to complete anything not done, and note any work orders the student mentions. The RA will then collect the resident’s room key. They will then close & lock the room door and the resident is then expected to leave the building.
Failure to sign up for a checkout 48 hours in advance, show up for the checkout appointment, or have room prepared for checkout appointment may result in an improper checkout fine ($50). RAs have been instructed to only wait 5 minutes from the time of the checkout appointment - if you are not at your room in that time, they have permission to
move on. If you sign up with an RA outside of your building, make sure to clarify if you need to meet them at your room or at the building entrance!
Students are responsible for any charges related to damages to the room, improper checkout, failing to return their room key, or any common space issues. Residents share responsibility for room damage – the charges will be divided by the number of residents sharing the space and applied to their student accounts. If only certain individuals are responsible, they must contact Sherri directly by email before charges will be removed from the others’ accounts. The students who take responsibility will take on the entire charge amount. You cannot blame others - they must step forward to take responsibility.
The Directors of Residence Life, Housekeeping, and/or Physical Plant will inspect rooms after closing to determine final damage charges. RAs DO NOT assess damage charges - they cannot tell you whether or not you will be charged for damages. Students will be notified of any damage or checkout charges or community fines within two weeks of hall closing via their Wilson email account . You have two weeks from the date of the email to appeal the charges. Appeals must be sent via email to Sherri Sadowski , Director of Residence Life.
Summer Storage
For students living on campus next fall, there is limited summer storage available. Storage is on a first come basis and is not
guaranteed. Storage is available by RA appointment May 3 - 18. Storage closes for the summer Sunday May 18! No

Each student is permitted to store a maximum of six (6) articles (articles include: pieces of furniture, fridges, boxes, rugs, etc.). o No small, loose items - they must be packaged in a sturdy, shippable box. (No garbage bags, space bags, etc.
- they will not ship!). Boxes must be taped shut with packing tape; plastic tubs should be taped shut as well so the lid does not pop off. o All items must be in their most contained state (i.e. cords stowed/taped, doors/flaps/openings taped shut, rugs rolled & taped, etc.). o No food items can be stored. All food containers and fridges must be clean, defrosted & dry prior to storage. o No valuables! o Due to possible space restrictions, we reserve the right to limit or refuse storage for pieces or furniture, appliances, and/or items that are not packed for shipping.
Each student is responsible for transporting her own items to and from storage. The student must be at storage with ALL of their belongings at the start of their storage appointment time. If you need the RA to meet you at the building entrance please make sure to specify that on the sign-up sheet.
We do not provide boxes or tape. You must secure your own packing supplies.
Storage will not re-open until August. Students should review the items they are placing in storage to make sure they will not need them over the summer.
All belongings must be claimed from storage by the end of the first week of classes in the fall. Students can only claim their own items from storage.
Storage can only be accessed by the RAs or the Director of Residence Life.
The College and its officers, employees, and agents assume no responsibility for the loss, damage, or destruction of personal property kept or stored in the residence hall.
The college recommends that a
student’s property be insured under her own individual homeowner’s/renter’s policy.
Bikes
Bicycles should be taken home over the summer as there is no storage available on campus. In an effort to clear abandoned, broken, and unused bikes from our bike racks, all bikes need to be removed from bike racks from Tuesday, May 20 th through Friday, May 23 rd . Students who are on campus for Summer I are asked to keep their bike in their room May 20-
23 so that our staff can accurately clear out the bike racks.
Any bikes left on the campus bike racks during this three-day period will be removed and either trashed or donated depending upon condition. If you are not returning to campus and do not want to take your bike with you, please consider donating or selling it to the Office of Student Development for the community-share bike program. Anyone interested in donating their bike should contact the Dean of Students, Carolyn Perkins.
Miscellaneous
Students are responsible for cancelling their contract with Comcast and returning their cable boxes/remotes BEFORE checkout - the Comcast rep will be in Lenfest during finals week for this purpose. Our staff cannot do this for you!
Students are responsible for notifying BedLoft and Microfridge of any moves so the company knows where to pick up the loft or Microfridge. Our staff cannot do this for you!
Make sure to return your library books and any materials you have borrowed from campus offices, faculty or staff before you leave!
Make sure to update your address with the Post Office and Registrar as appropriate!
